If you elect to use a separate VTK compilation (for example for
off-screen rendering), it is advisable to reuse the VTK libraries that

Building on older systems
-------------------------
If the system gcc is too old for building OpenFOAM, a third-party gcc or
clang/llvm installation can be used. If building clang/llvm, note that
there are also minimum gcc/g++ requirements there:
Min gcc/g++
=========== ==========
4.4 llvm-3.4.2
4.7 llvm-3.5.2 - llvm-3.7.0
If your system compiler is too old to build the minimum required gcc or
clang/llvm, it is just simply too old.
