First install boost, qt and cmake

Get it:

mkdir -p /opt/openfoam/2.4.0
cd /opt/openfoam/2.4.0
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/OpenFOAM-2.4.0.tgz?use_mirror=mesh
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-2.4.0.tgz?use_mirror=mesh
mv OpenFOAM-2.4.0.tgz\?use_mirror\=mesh OpenFOAM-2.4.0.tgz
mv ThirdParty-2.4.0.tgz\?use_mirror\=mesh ThirdParty-2.4.0.tgz
tar -xzvf OpenFOAM-2.4.0.tgz
tar -xzvf ThirdParty-2.4.0.tgz

Prepare:

yum install qtwebkit qtwebkit-devel  #from epel
module load boost/1.49.0    #installation
module load qt/4.8.6        #installation
module load openmpi-x86_64  #from openmpi-1.8.1-1.el6.x86_64
module load cmake/2.8.12.2  #installation

In OpenFOAM-2.4.0/etc/bashrc

foamInstall=/opt/openfoam/$WM_PROJECT_VERSION
#and
foamCompiler=ThirdParty

In OpenFOAM-2.4.0/etc/config/settings.sh

gcc_version=gcc-4.8.4  #from gcc-4.8.2

Source it:

. OpenFOAM-2.4.0/etc/bashrc

Compile on all cores:

export MAKEFLAGS='-j 60'
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=60

Compile gcc:

cd ThirdParty-2.4.0
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-5.1.2.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf gmp-5.1.2.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/mpfr-3.1.2.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf mpfr-3.1.2.tar.bz2
wget http://www.multiprecision.org/mpc/download/mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/languages/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.4/gcc-4.8.4.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf gcc-4.8.4.tar.bz2

edit makeGcc:

gccPACKAGE=gcc-4.8.4
./makeGcc

Control if gcc works after sourcing baschrc again ”. ../OpenFOAM-2.4.0/etc/bashrc”

which gcc
output:/opt/openfoam/2.4.0/ThirdParty-2.4.0/platforms/linux64/gcc-4.8.4/bin/gcc

Continue in ThirdParty:

./Allwmake
 ./makeParaView4

Time to compile OpenFOAM 2.4.0!!!

cd ../OpenFOAM-2.4.0
 ./Allwmake > build.log|tail -f build.log

The module file: /etc/modulefiles/openfoam/2.4.0
