Hi

You need to install qt4.3.5, which you can get by searching in Synaptic Package Manager.
When it is install please follow the README to compile Parafoam

Do the same, as with qt. Go to Synaptic Package Manager and search for mpfr.

Get libmpfr-dev and the manager will suggest the additional needed packages.

From there on, you should be set to go.

Thanks ngi,

I had the same problem as francy, followed your instructions and the compiling of paraview3.3 works.
It's still running, so I do not know if the compiling of PV3FoamReader will work...
