Hello David,
I did find the options in my firedrake-update file.
I removed PYTHONPATH and redid firedrake-install and that seemed to do the trick.
The results from make alltest are pretty good:
3479 passed, 51 skipped, 12 xfailed, 1 xpassed in 1787.29 seconds
Please feel free to close this case if you like.
Thanks again for the help.
Cheers, Francis
