The gfortran compiler is used for the compilation of the deal.II library, and is therefore also needed. +MPI: in case the OpenMPI library is used, at least version 1.10 is required +by the linear algebra package elemental. Note that foam-extend also needs to +be compiled with the same version. The environment variable `OPENMPI_DIR` as +noted above also needs to point to the location where the correct version of +OpenMPI is installed. + OS: Currently only Linux based distributions are supported, patches for other operating systems are welcome.
