Thanks Maarten! Somewhere in the Anaconda docs is stated that bash is a hard requirement: conda doesn't work with other shells.
In theory you can try and build the packages yourself installing conda-build and using my conda-recipes fork, the juanlu001/fenics branch. https <https://github.com/juanlu001/conda-recipes>:// <https://github.com/juanlu001/conda-recipes>github.com <https://github.com/juanlu001/conda-recipes>/juanlu001/conda-recipes <https://github.com/juanlu001/conda-recipes> For instance, to rebuild ffc: $ cd conda-recipes $ git checkout juanlu001/fenics $ conda build ffc --python 27 It may complain that instant, scientificpython and such are not built or do not exist. You can either rebuild those for your system or try my uploaded versions, doing this in the first place: $ conda config --add channels juanlu001 If you try and fail I can inspect what is the problem with the recipes and try to polish them so they work in a variety of systems. I can install a virtual CentOS 6.6 myself but not before this Sunday. If you don't have admin privileges some requirements may be impossible to meet, specially if you try to rebuild boost. In https://binstar.org/juanlu001/boost I listed the packages needed to build it, but these need to come from your native package manager (e.g. libicu, libbz2) since they are not available from conda. As a last resort, you can try $ conda install binstar $ binstar search -t conda libicu But I am away from my computer now so I cannot check this command myself. Best regards, Juan Luis 'source activate fenics27' worked as soon as I switched from the csh shell to bash. I did an update with 'conda update conda' and 'conda update anaconda' before trying again. This time the installer ran without any problems. Trying 'import dolfin' now returns: --------------------------------------------------- > DOLFIN runtime dependency is not met. > Install the following python module: 'ffc' > and make sure its location is listed in PYTHONPATH. > --------------------------------------------------- > ffc installed just fine along with the other packages, and it is located in PYTHONPATH. Simply trying 'ffc' in the shell reveals this error: ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by > <INSTALL_PATH>/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufc/_ufc.so) > I doubt this is related to conda. However, being stuck to GLIBC_2.12 on CentOS and without admin rights, I am not sure if there is anything I can further do?
