Greetings Indrajit,

• What gcc and g++ versions are you using?

  gcc --version
  gcc --version

  Anything below 4.3.3 will not work.
• The first error is usually the one to blame. Run:

  ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

  This way you'll get the whole output in the file "make.log". Then pack the file and attach on your next post.
  For packing the file, you can sue this command:

  tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log

  And then attach the file "make.log.tar.gz".

And why aren't you using CentFOAM?

Best regards,
Bruno

Here you go, CentFOAM's wiki page that explains it all: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...itle=Main_Page

Here on the forum other people have detailed a bit how to install OpenFOAM on CentOS, RHEL and SL, but usually the best is to use CentFOAM.
