Hello,

I have been trying to install firedrake on our campus cluster, however I’ve had little success so far. I am not from a CS background so mostly have been googling stuff and trying different things. I am trying to make use of the modules available on our cluster, and use the PETSc already installed on the cluster.

export I_MPI_CC=gcc

export I_MPI_CXX=g++

export I_MPI_F90=gfortran

export I_MPI_FC="$I_MPI_F90"

export I_MPI_F77="$I_MPI_F90"

export PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--download-fblaslapack 

export PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--download-scalapack 

export PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--download-mumps 

export PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--download-superlu_dist 

export PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--download-hypre

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/master/scripts/firedrake-install

python3 firedrake-install --no-package-manager --honour-pythonpath --honour-petsc-dir

This throws exception at the following point (Also attached separately as firedrakeErrortxt)

The complete log file is also attached along with this email.

Please let me know if you can be of some help, as I have received little-to-no help from the people managing the cluster. Also let me know if this is due to an error on my side while running the installer.

Thank you
