I have installed OpenFOAM 1.2, Installation is ok, but when I try to start FoamX I receive this error:

Has anyone an idea to solve this?

See the solutions for this problem posted in this very same forum. Use the 'Search' option on the left hand side.

Use "Default name service could not be contacted" as your keyword (include the double quotes).

yes number 4 ,
turn off the SELinux security (and reboot), FoamX will work. Desktop->System settings->Security Level.
