Hi, Can the firedrake install script be modified to use a different version of lbspatialindex ? Given the error meesage below. Some files from the gtest are missing. It can build by hand but that requires an modification with every update.

libspatialindex has to be new enough to have a *working* C API, because that's what Firedrake uses. That HEAD is from *our* git repository clone so this is a known working version. I'm not sure what goes exactly wrong when this issue happens with gtest, the install script explicitly patches Makefile.am ( https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/blob/master/scripts/firedrake-... ) to avoid building the test suite which would require gtest. Try to debug what is going on with that one. Is that patch applied? Why is it trying to use gtest? ________________________________ From: firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk <firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk> on behalf of Onno Bokhove <O.Bokhove@leeds.ac.uk> Sent: 14 November 2017 16:15:36 To: firedrake; Tim Hainsworth Subject: [firedrake] Fw: REQTSK0145114 - IT request - Install software - Firedrake (Mac) Hi, Can the firedrake install script be modified to use a different version of lbspatialindex ?

Oh, but the outer problem is that you should not ask ICT to pre-install Firedrake for you. In constrained environments -- when management does not give researchers root access to install things on their machines --, ICT should rather be asked to install the system dependencies of Firedrake. On macOS, this means homebrew, and the following homebrew packages: - gcc - openmpi or mpich - python3 - autoconf - automake - cmake - libtool - mercurial Then you can install Firedrake yourself, passing --no-package-manager to the install script. ________________________________ From: firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk <firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk> on behalf of Onno Bokhove <O.Bokhove@leeds.ac.uk> Sent: 14 November 2017 16:15:36 To: firedrake; Tim Hainsworth Subject: [firedrake] Fw: REQTSK0145114 - IT request - Install software - Firedrake (Mac) Hi, Can the firedrake install script be modified to use a different version of lbspatialindex ?

The problem appears to be that the file "configure.ac" script in libspatialindex is hard coded to include gtest (see lines 82 and 84). When the resulting configure script is created it then explicitly tries to configure gtest which fails as that is missing Makefile.in. Can firedrake-install be modified to remove gtest from configure.ac?
