Installation problem

Andrei Smirnov (Smirnov)

I was trying to install the OpenFOAM on Linux P4 Dell computer:

$ uname -a
Linux smirnov 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It did not work. First, running
bin/foamInstallationTest
reports a critical error, which I don't know how to correct:

-------------------------------------------------
Software Version Location
-------------------------------------------------
gcc 3.2.3 /usr/bin/gcc
java 1.4.2_05 /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java
gzip 1.3.3 /usr/bin/gzip
tar 1.3.3 /bin/tar
icoFoam *** not installed ***
CRITICAL ERROR
----------------------------------------------

Secondly, running Allmake produces these errors:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I also wonder if it is possible not to install
the package into $HOME/OpenFOAM as recommended
in README, but to use /usr/local/OpenFOAM instead?
If so, how to do that?

I would appreciate your help very much. Thanks,

A.Smirnov
