Hi everyone:
I install OpenFOAM on RedHat9.0 with gcc3.2.2,
but failed finally with a lot of ERRORS.
I compile FOAM on FedoraCore3 with gcc3.4.2 then, it seems the errors decreased.
I am wondering that openFOAM must be compiled
only by gcc3.4.X ?

[henry]

As far as possible we try to ensure OpenFOAM conforms to the C++ standard and update the code for each release of gcc because the newer releases have better standard compliance. gcc-3.2.2 is now too old to compile OpenFOAM but I think gcc-3.3.? still will although I STRONGLY recommend you use either gcc-3.4.3 or gcc-4.0.1 (only for OpenFOAM-1.2) which are superior.

Hi Henry:
Thank you for your reply. I use gcc4.0, some problems still exsit, the abridged informations
are listed bellow, please have a look,^_^:

You are missing system headers and this has already been discussed on the forum.

[jens_klostermann]

I try to compile OpenFOAM1.2 on Altix (IA64) with RedHat 9.3 an IntelCompiler 9.0.

So far everything runs fine, but the following error ocurred:
could not open file libc_private.h for source file fbsdmalloc.c
could not open file spinlock.h for source file fbsdmalloc.c

Has anybody an idea if I need these files since it seems to be for FreeBSD but I have RedHat linux.

If I need them where can I find them?

[hjasak]

Hmm. For the moment you can simply skip that file, I think only simpleFoam is using it and ti does not have to (optimized malloc helps with memory use). There must be a way of getting this to compile because you're just missing some headers but I haven't got any good ideas without trying it out myself...

I have install OpenFOAM1.4 on redhat9.0, with gcc4.1.2, but has the end of installation and after the check of the installation it gives me error message. If there is somebody who already has install OpenFOAM of help me to have solution. Thank you

[lakeat]

Hi, Nabil,
I think it's not hard to do that, but you'd better post the error messages so that we will know what's going on

[nabildjef]

forgiveness; At the court of the installation, for the third and fourth instruction he writes to me: has derectory and permission non agreement
