Hello,

Actually, when I tried updating firedrake on my mac laptop I received the same error.

Maybe there is something else that's wrong?

Subject: [firedrake] problem with a fresh install on ubuntu 16.04

Hello again,

Yesterday I started setting up a new ubuntu laptop running 16.04.

I started to install firedrake and it took a long time to do the petsc install but seemed to get past that but then something went wrong, see below.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Also, if I wanted to finish the install is there a way to continue rather than starting from scratch?

Cheers, Francis
