Hi,
i wanted to try out OpenModelica but so far had no luck getting it to work.

First, i tried to build it from source under Linux (openSuse 11.2 64 Bit). Something seems to be wrong with the makefiles, when making omc it always fails with

Makefile:20: *** missing separator.

The first Makefile with the problem is Compiler/runtime/Makefile, but there are some more. They all contain invalid lines like the following:

RMLINCLUDE = /usr/local/src/mmc/x86_64-linux-gcc/include/plain
/usr/local/include/plain

So, i went for the Windows binary (Win7 64 Bit). Unfortunately, this has a different problem. Models load fine, but when actually simulating them, i get many linker errors like this:

record SimulationResult
    resultFile = "Simulation failed.
