Essentially, the problem is that you're trying to build OpenFOAM 1.7.1 with an incompatible GCC version, as indicated here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...tion_.28GCC.29

The simplest solution is to install the packages for GCC 4.4 that Ubuntu 14.10 has got:

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-44

Then in order to use this specific compiler... wait, have a look at these instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_12.04 - roughly follow those instructions, but change for yourself all occurrences from 4.5 to 4.4 and you should be good to go.

If this doesn't work for you, I can try this coming weekend to test this myself and write on the wiki.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi,

I tried this instruction, and that was not work for me to install openFoam 1.7.1 in Ubuntu 14.04!
And, I already tried wikki's instruction as well, but that was not working!
Even though in wikki, it is mentioned gcc 4.5!!! and I changed those to gcc 4.4, but that was the same sort of errors!
Can you please kindly help me to sort it out this installation?

Regards,
Reza

Hello,
I m having problem with installation of openfoam 1.7.1 on ubuntu 14.04.
I am already installed other version of openFoam in this Ubuntu 14.04, like: openFOAM 2.1.1, 2.3., 3.0 and 4.0, but I have problem with instalation of this older version!
I also tried the following links advices, but those were not working for me.

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-1.7.1/Ubuntu

And, I think the problem is GCC-4.5!
Can you please help to resolving this issue?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Reza

Quick answer: I've finally managed to take a quick look into this.

I'll still need to do further testing of the instructions, but the ones I already have up now seem to work so far: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...u#Ubuntu_14.04

The instructions I'm testing with are using GCC 4.4, because 4.5 doesn't exist for Ubuntu 14.04.

edit: I've finished writing and testing these instructions!

Thank you, I managed to resolve the GCC problem.
