Dear Lawrence,


Thank you.  I believe that did the trick. 


When I visited last year there was talk of having a version of Firedrake that had a PETSc build with complex numbers.  Has anything happened with that?  I am still very interested in computing eigenvalues and giving complex guesses to save a lot of time, but at the moment that is not possible. 


Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers, Francis

We recently updated the version of PETSc that firedrake installs, but
forgot to do the same for SLEPc, so you had a mismatch.

I have now updated SLEPc as well, so if you run firedrake-update
--slepc again, I hope it will work.

Thanks,

Lawrence
