I'm trying to build OpenFOAM 2.3.x on a RHEL 6 cluster, so I can't perform the steps that need root. Are there instructions anywhere for a workaround?

Return to Thread:Talk:Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/CentOS SL RHEL/What if I can't get root?.

Then you'll have to compile your own OpenMPI in Thirdparty.

But better: ask your sysadmin nicely whether he can do the first few steps for you. After that you should be fine without root-rights.
