People,
A Hint to OF-1.6 installation in CentOS 5 (and RHEL 5) or maybe other system that has not an up-to-date Qt-4 installed.
Since Qt (even in version 4.7) has an installation bug thta try to link some of its projects to installed libraries (and not the libraries just criated in the compilation directory), a modification has to be made in the rpmbuild specification file
~/OpenFOAM®/OpenFOAM®-1.6-ext/ThirdParty/rpmBuild/SPECS/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0.spec
to include the path of the libraries. Just modify the file in the #build section to include an option to the configure program. The modified file must be like:
.......
./configure \
-opensource --confirm-license=yes \
-R %{qtlibpath} \
--prefix=%{_installPrefix}
......
I have just tested on CenTOS 5.5, but this modification should make the installation runs perfectly on any CentOS/RHEL 5.
Bye,
Paulo
