Hello,everybody!
I'm trying to install OpenFOAM-1.5 on Suse10.3, 64bit Linux. I'm a obsolutely fresh man about Linux and OpenFOAM, so lots of problems trouble me.

1. Where should I type the "qmake --version" as the README file says? I always get the "command not found", and I'm really puzzled...What's more, does it mean that Suse10.3 have the Qt4.3.1 and I could never worry about the problem above?

2.I came cross the same problem as Soeren met a few days ago.(see more in OpenFOAM Message Board: OpenFOAM: Installation: Installation of OpenFoam 1.5 /Compilation paraview)
Following ur advice, I installed the mpfr with YaST and the install DVD this morning, and fortunately, the problem disappeared.
But another one arises as :

ATTENTION:
I'm with the Suse10.3!

I've find the key to this problem with Ubuntu:

"To compile programs you need to install the package build-essential.
You can do this with Synaptic or from a terminal window:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential"

What should I do with Suse?
Also, the "qmake --version" problem ?

Thank u all

Hi Wenzu,

First, fire up Yast (look for it in the menu) and then the 'Software Management' module. You are supposed to use it to install/remove software in your openSUSE system.

'apt' is a command-line package manager normally used in Debian-based systems, such as Ubuntu. An equivalent to 'apt' in openSUSE would be 'zypper'.

To solve your problem, I think you need to install 'libqt4-devel' package, it contains the missing qmake file. When you are at it, make sure 'make' is installed.

Regards,
José Santos
