Ah, misunderstanding. firedrake-status is a script, you should run it, not run more on it. Please type firedrake-status at the command line and post the output.

While installing the tests/demos, it sometimes prints an “F” (meaning fail I presume). Is this a problem? I have seen some occasional failures of the demos (but only when run as tests). But I thought I had fixed recently. Can you provide any more details? Particularly, which test fails (and are there any further details). Can you also provide the output of "firedrake-status"? A failing test is a problem, but we need to debug a little to figure out what is going on. It's possible that the installation was successful nonetheless, and we just have a bug in one of the demos, or there might be something that needs to be fixed. Thanks, Lawrence
