Using Fedora 11 Repository Version of ParaView
 

I'm running Fedora 11 and have OpenFOAM installed and running. Of course I've seen the headaches people have getting paraFOAM to work on all but a few systems.

Fedora 11 has paraview version 4.3 (I think) and I've installed that. I was wondering if anyone has been able to get paraFOAM to work by using this (or similar for your distro) version of paraview.

On a similar subject, how would you get openFOAM to use your installed (on your OS) versions of software (gcc, etc)?
