Re: [firedrake] firedrake installation error
Hi Lawrence, I tried apt-get -f install cmake but my machine is complaining like this: The following packages have unmet dependencies. cmake : Depends: cmake-data (>= 2.8.12.2) but it is not going to be installed linux-image-extra-3.13.0-66-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-66-generic but it is not going to be installed linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-66-generic but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). Can you specify a solution? Hiroe On 12 April 2016 at 18:22, Mitchell, Lawrence < lawrence.mitchell@imperial.ac.uk> wrote:

Dear all,
I re-installed firedrake on one of my Ubuntu machines by removing old firedrake which was installed manually and running firedrake-install.
Unfortunately it stopped running half way through with the errors attached. I would appreciate any help to solve this.
"CMake > 2.5 is needed to build METIS"
Can you try upgrading the global cmake install to something more modern than cmake 2.5 which is about 9 years old?

I can't immediately, unfortunately, I never know how to get apt out of one of these installation dependency resolution problems. Maybe someone else will have an idea. I guess you could try the proposed attempt: "apt-get -f install" Lawrence
