Hi Francis, First, you only need to follow Miklos' instructions if you haven't updated since 4 Feb (those instructions are to get over a particular fix we had to apply to the install script. They are not usually needed). This is slightly hacky, but you can open up firedrake-update in an editor. Starting at around line 123 (depending slightly on which version you have), you can see a list of boolean assignments which record your original configuration flags.

Thanks for the responses.
I did firedrake-install on my mac. I am redoing the firedrake-update with PYTHONPATH clear and suspect that will do the trick. Thanks David.
On my ubuntu machine I tried firedrake-update and that seemed much easier (will do that in the future). I followed instructions from the Feb 4 email (by Miklos)
*cd to the top directory of the firedrake virtualenv* *. ./bin/activate* *cd src/firedrake/* *git pull* *./scripts/firedrake-install --rebuild-script --your-install-options*
*Replace --your-install-options with the options you used to install Firedrake. Then run:*
*firedrake-update --clean*
This is clear but one problem is that I don't remember what options I installed. Is there a way of figuring that out? I know that someone recommended something involving petsc but have not been able to track down the options.
Thanks again. Francis
