Dear Firedrakers,
Last week I made the terrible decision to update the version of Ubuntu on my computer, and amongst other problems I found that Firedrake was no longer working. I tried updating it, but the update kept on failing and I am now trying to reinstall. However this is failing (error message below).
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
I think this is nothing specific to firedrake-install. But rather that creating the virtualenv is failing. Let's try: $ which virtualenv $ virtualenv testing And see what happens... If that fails, it looks like in the past you installed virtualenv locally, can you pip uninstall it? # Repeat this fixed-point iteration until convergence is achieved $ pip uninstall virtualenv And then try running $ hash -r $ which virtualenv $ virtualenv testing2 If that works, you can blow away the testing/testing2 directories, and firedrake-install should get past this initial failure.
