do you mean OpenFOAM.1.6-ext, because OpenFOAM.1.6 is some how an old version, i recommend you to install latest version from here (http://www.openfoam.org/download/)

Thank you very much Mr Sam. you ment this old openfoal can't be installed on this version of linux at all?

[nimasam]

if you insist to install this version no matter why, then i feel you may want to try binary installation

[zandi]

thank you i have installed 2.0.1 at last

Greetings to all!

@Zandi: Gcc 4.4.3 will only work if you can use OpenFOAM 1.6.x (not 1.6-ext): http://www.openfoam.org/archive/1.6/download/git.php
For installing OpenFOAM 1.6.x you can also try the Nucleation installation scripts: http://code.google.com/p/nucleation/

OpenFOAM 1.6 has to be built with Gcc 4.3.3 or greater, but only in the Gcc 4.3 series.
In Ubuntu 10.04 you can install this series with this command:

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.3 g++-4.3 cpp-4.3

Then....
... I've seen now that you have already installed OpenFOAM 2.0.1... oh well .

Best regards,
Bruno
