Hello folks
I am trying to compile OpenFOAM-1.6.x on my OpenSUSE 11.2 64 bits partition. I wrote and used this script to just download the files
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post238804

so far so good.
Now I am writing the install script, which is nothing more than a call to Allwmake.
when I issue the command gedit InstallOpenFoam.sh I get the following error message
ahmed@linux-lpc2:~> gedit InstallOpenFoam.sh
kde4-config: /home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libkdecore.so.5)
kde4-config: /home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libkdecore.so.5)
ahmed@linux-lpc2:~>

Now here is the script, as of today, itself

#!/bin/bash
echo
echo
echo "Hello "$USER
echo
echo "Your current directory is:- "$PWD
echo
echo "Before compiling OpenFOAM-1.6.x, We first test the installation"
echo
foamSystemCheck
#
#
#
echo
cd OpenFOAM
cd OpenFOAM-1.6.x
#
#
#
#./Allwmake > error.log
#
#
#
echo
echo "...................That is all folks.................."
echo
echo "Enjoy Your OpenFOAM experience"
echo
echo " Be positive and helpful towards the others "
echo
echo " Share your OpenFOAM experience with other Users "
echo
echo
echo " Bye Bye"
echo


As you can see, the statement calling the Allwmake is commented, anyway, when I ran the script as it is, I got the following

ahmed@linux-lpc2:~> ./InstallOpenFoam.sh

The foamSystemCheck, is giving me the go ahead, to compile the programme, but doing that resulted in a disaster

I am not sure if that disaster was caused by the KDE environment it self, or something conflicting within the openFOAM-1.6.x

There is a post on this same forum, about similar problems, But I am confused, as I understand it, the third party files are supposed to have all what is needed to compile OpenFOAM-1.6.x, but the KDE error message and the resulting disaster are making me think differently.

Now here is my main question,
where can I find the prerequisites before compiling the programme, I can not find any document on the internet that tells me what I need to have on my OpenSUSE 11.2 before calling the Allwmake

Can you help, please do so

Thanks and good luck to all
