Hi Jemma,

Why are you installing in global mode? That's a little tested option which is basically only there for supercomputers.

Using the usual virtualenv install (probably with --developer) is strongly recommended.

Hi All,


I'm finally moving with the times and have upgraded my macbook to El Capitan with the intention of installing firedrake. I have got as far as running firedrake-install --global but it has stopped with the error:


Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "firedrake-install", line 842, in <module>

    build_and_install_h5py()

  File "firedrake-install", line 565, in build_and_install_h5py

    raise InstallError("Unable to find installed PETSc when building h5py")

__main__.InstallError: Unable to find installed PETSc when building h5py


Any idea what's gone wrong?


Thanks,

Jemma
