OpenFOAM 2.3.1 compile on opensuse 12.3 needs MPFR
 

executing .Allwmake in the thirdparty directory needed mpfr to be installed even though the system passed the requirement tests

mpfr-devel - Development files for the GNU multiple-precision floating-point library
libmpfr4 - The GNU multiple-precision floating-point shared library

A very minor niggle

Greetings Derek,

To which installation instructions are you referring to?

Best regards,
Bruno

it was the source description. But looking at it a again it doesnt actually tell you to run ./Allwmake

Ah, many thanks for clearing that up! I've been so focused on writing the installation wiki pages (e.g. http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...2.3.1/openSUSE ), that I forgot to report my findings on the bug tracker :(.

OK, I'll do a clean build as soon as I can, since there are a few more packages on the wiki that might not be extremely necessary for the base instructions on the official page: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php

Quick update: I've finally followed on this topic and tested this, as well as reported this here: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1492
