CentOS precompiled packages don't include scotch

Hi,

I installed OpenFOAM v2006 with the instructions provided for CentOS in [1]. However, the decomposePar command is not working and gives the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Attempted to use <scotch> without the scotchDecomp library loaded.
This message is from the dummy scotchDecomp stub library instead.

Please install <scotch> and ensure libscotch.so is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
The scotchDecomp library can then be built from src/parallel/decompose/scotchDecomp.
Dynamically loading or linking this library will add <scotch> as a decomposition method.

Scotch is installed in the system, but I suppose that there is something else missing. Does this has to do with the "Third-Party" builds (not included in the packages?).
