When I try to set up 1.5-dev in the suse 10.3 system.

After complied, try to execute the foamInstallationTest. But there is the error information. Please help me, I feel crazy now.

It says that you miss icoFoam, so probably the compilation did not go through as it should.
Try this:

foam
cd applications/solvers/incompressible
wmake icoFoam

After this, try again foamInstallationTest.

Hello,

your linker cannot find the finiteVolume library, it means it has not been compiled, or that your environment variables are not set correctly (check LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH)

Relaunch the entire compilation and CHECK that the compilation runs fine from the beginning.

Resolve your problems from the beginning (first errors received during the compilation).

Good luck ;)

Another hint is that the Flex option '--c++' causes the version of Flex on my machine to fail, I replaced it with '-+' until I have the time to install a newer version Flex.

Flex failing to parse files caused the finiteVolume library to not compile correctly, when I rebuilt OF1.5.x from the GIT repository this week.
