You are missing the liberty library - install the binutils-devel package and all should be well.

On my openSUSE 11.2 system, the iberty library is part of binutils-devel.
Try installing that package, or else you can also try using gcc from the ThirdParty instead of your system compiler. This gcc should normally have iberty as part of its build.

Thank you for akidess and olsen. According to your advice, I installed the packages of;
binutils-devel
cmake
libqt4-devel
flex

The installation 1.7.1 and paraFoam has been successfully done.
