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?

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
Hello Lawrence, Thanks for explaining the situation and showing me how to fix it. I did the update on my mac and it did seem to view the data files made in parallel without me having to do anything. Thank Jemma for solving the problem even before I asked. I am redoing the linux install but suspect that will work fine. It usually does. If not I will let you know.
