Greetings semaviso and welcome to the forum!
You seem a bit lost in the forum too :) Here is a thread that has more relevant information about Fedora 13 and OpenFOAM 1.7: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...dora-13-a.html

From there you can choose whether to install OpenFOAM 1.7.0 or 1.7.x, since the instructions shouldn't be very different!

Best regards,
Bruno

Many thanks Alberto,

(I received an email-notification a couple of days after your reply.)

At last I have been trying to become familiar with OpenFOAM/Paraview some days now. After installing openSUSE 11.3 the problem with my graphic card was over (thanks to the updated 'radeon' driver). I wish that also other people take advantage of the list of the actions/tips mentioned in the thread 'http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-paraview/78243-installation-problem-paraview-3-8-0-opensuse-11-2-a.html#post269879'. Other than that, I think that openSUSE 11.3, compared to 11.2 succeeds in keeping my laptop's temperature at a significantly lower level, even 'suspend to RAM' does work!

I couldn't work on ParaView using paraFoam. Thanks to your tip in your site, I am able to work on it, using pvFoam!

Best regards,
Menandros

You are welcome. OpenSUSE 11.3 is going to receive also a good number of patches following user reports, which should make it be a very nice release also for who has very recent hardware (iCore and similar).

About paraFoam, I never figured out how to make it work consistently. It seems oversensitive to Qt versions and paraview versions unfortunately. pvFoam behaves more smoothly.

Best,

thanks bruno

Hi,

Here is the doc about how to compile OpenFOAM-1.7.x on OpenSUSE-11.2.
