OpenFOAM-1.6.x instllation problem
 

Hello foamers,

I have been using OpenFOAM-1.7.1 for some time. I have to develop some applications related to conjugate heat transfer problems. As this is not available in 1.7.1, I decided to install OpenFOAM-1.6.x from the git depository (http://www.openfoam.com/archive/1.6/download/git.php). This needs a gcc version of 4.3.3. I have 4.5.1, so I thought its fine and went ahead with the compilation step in the link. When I executed "foamInstallationTest", below is what it spit out. Could anyone please how to fix these errors.

It's me again. I found a relevant thread
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post235106

In posts #7, Bruno says 1.6.x builds properly with gcc 4.4.? and above. So I modified settings.sh file (compilerInstall=System) and cleaned everything as suggested and then ran Allwmake. Unfortunately I still fail to compile and when I run foamInstallationTest I receive the same info that I pasted in the above post.

Did any of you faced this problem in fedora 14??

Thanks

Could somebody please respond, thinking that I can install 1.6.x I completely removed my 1.7.1 which was working fine. I did not know how to maintain two versions in my laptop so I had to remove 1.7.1. Now I am left with none :(

Thank you

As I can not remove this post, I just want to mention that, I will be reposting my question in the above post and please reply in that post. Don't post anything in this thread.

Thank you
