[OpenFOAM.org] Error: cannot find qmake either at $QMAKE_PATH or in current $PATH

I have CentOS 7.8.2003 installed. I am trying to compile with Intel compilers, version 18.0.5 20180823. When I run ./makeParaView the following message is printed:

Code:

ParaView-5.6.0 exists. Not downloading ...
*** Error: cannot find qmake either at $QMAKE_PATH or in current $PATH

I installed qt5 and its dependencies:

Code:

I have indicated the path where `qmake-qt5` (/usr /lib64) is installed, but it did not work either.

The actual command is qmake-qt5 but OpenFoam uses "qmake" in scripts. So, a soft link will fix the error.

You have to run the following commands too:

Code:

yum install qt5-qtbase-devel.x86_64 cmake3.x86_64 libXt-devel.x86_64 qt5-qtx11extras-devel.x86_64 qt5-qttools-devel.x86_64 qt-devel.x86_64
ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 /usr/bin/qmake
ln -s /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake

The solution worked perfectly.

Thank you very much.
