I really need some help.

I'm running a 32bit Linux Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty i386 system. I want to do some CFD analysis. And i want to use open source and/or free software. I have been looking all over the place for resources and i've hit my last nerve. I tried installing OpenFOAM but it keeps erroring, and i installed ParaView but it appears that its only for viewing a CFD model that's already been solved.

Can someone give me some steps for setting up my system with everything i need to design the model, mesh it, set up boundaries and properties, run the analysis, and analyse it (and whatever other steps in between)?

For example which software(s) should i install to get all this accomplished?

any input at all will be greatly appreciated. thanks.
