CFD Online Discussion Forums - [foam-extend.org] Compile cannot find -lfoam (1st error msg)

Failed compilation of openfoam-extend 4.1. Here's the first instance of load error in compilation --- can't find -lfoam. Running opensuse linux. I don't know how far through compilation this is but it's been running for 1/2 hour or so. Same error continues for many more files. See compiler output snippet below:

Anyone have an idea what the problem is? Loading foam-extend-4.1 and following foam-extend instructions explicitly.

thanks all. tom kosvic
