Hello everyone

I just install the OpenFoam first time, and there are some problems during Installation paraview and PV3FoamReader.

After installed the OpenFoam-1.5, in order to check the installation I entered the foamInstallationTest in Terminal:
[root@localhost bin]# foamInstallationTest

The result is:

After OpenFOAMInstallation check passed, I tried to install paraveiw3.3, and foamreader,then there was the problem:

when I install PV3foamreader, the error results are almost the same.
I think if there is the gcc-3.4.2 problem, it should not be able to install the OpenFoam, but the fact is OpenFoam-1.5 have be installed by this gcc-3.4.2.
I have no idea about this, and hope someone can help me. Thanks a lot!
