Hello,
Actually, when I tried updating firedrake on my mac laptop I received the same error.
Maybe there is something else that's wrong?
We recently integrated an undocumented (sorry) dependency into the toolchain that none of us noticed locally because we already had all the bits installed! You need to install the autotools packages: On ubuntu the packages you need are called: automake, autoconf, libtool On your mac, you need to install (with brew): automake, autoconf, libtool We will update the installation script to do this by magic later today once we have tested things properly. Unfortunately there is no way to resume from a half-finished installation (because we can't safely recover from a broken state). If firedrake-install fails, you therefore sadly have to blow away and start again. Thanks, Lawrence
