I am trying to compile OpenFOAM on RHEL 5.0 and I keep getting a lot of errors. The following is the first of the errors and I was hoping someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

wmake libso mpi

Greetings Bryce,

What Gcc version are you using?

gcc -v

If it's anything below 4.3.3, then you'll need to either request your system's administrator for a more recent one or build one yourself.
Another possibility is to use OpenFOAM version made available by the CentFOAM project: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...itle=Main_Page

Yet another possibility would be to use Intel's compiler, Icc, but I think you'll need at least the version 12.0 for building OpenFOAM 2.0.

Best regards and good luck!
