I have tried to install dolfin (fenics) from macports. I got stuck several times and now am stuck and do not see a way out. I could use some pointers/help here from the broader community
A couple of observations and then the actual error that I currently get: 1. The process was (is) not smooth. Boost had a lot of issues when I tried to sudo port install dolfin- deciphering the log I loaded things differently (not at all sure that it worked right) and had to add some packages that were not listed as dependencies...but after 3-5 tries it went all the way through. I posted the log from the original problem on macports if someone is interested (sean@ was handling this for a few iterations). As a footnote its reasonable to ask "why do this?" and just use the binary. Well, I want to use a different python and would like to combine things - Octave, PyDSTool, etc. 2. Now, the demos don't run. Sean (@macports) apparently recognized the problem but did not seize it to run it to ground - the ticket remains open. I wonder if in the process of getting Python and others the swig versions got confused. In any case things don't work... Clas ----------------- current error on poisson.py posted on fenics q&a over the weekend (also on macports) ----------------------------- I have tried to install dolfin from macports. It got stuck - looking for "boost." I re-installed boost +mpich. I got all the way through compile. Now, not all demos work. biharmonic and cahn-hilliard work fine. poisson gives this error class-mbp:~ clasajacobson$ python /opt/local/share/dolfin/demo/documented/poisson/python/demo_poisson.py Calling FFC just-in-time (JIT) compiler, this may take some time.

Is this the right venue to get this resolved or some help here? Clas A.
