When I run FoamX I receive an error saying that it can't find FoamXHostBrowser, which FoamXHostBrowser confirms this so I've tried to recompile the source in the directory ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/applications/utilities/preProcessing/FoamX/C++ and I get the following error output:

(... error output continues but is similar for the other applications in the directory)

My system is SuSE 10.1 x86_64, and according to foamInstallationTest everything is correct with my installation.

Does anyone know where I should look? At one point the error says "cannot find -lFoamX", does this mean another part of of my Foam installation is incomplete?

Hello,

> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl

You are missing a library called libssl.

You need this library in order to link an application based on Mico/Corba. Encryption is part of the communication layer of Corba, so you need to have the dev package for libopenssl on your system.

On my SuSE 10.3 x86_64 system, libssl.a is provided by the following RPM: libopenssl-devel-0.9.8e-45.5.

Argh. Thanks. I didn't even see that error message. I feel a little silly now.
