Hi Fenics support, OS details:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty I recently upgraded from FEniCS 1.5 to FEniCS 1.6 via re-running: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fenics-packages/fenics $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install fenics $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Everything upgraded as expected with no errors, warnings, etc. Now, upon running any example, or previously working code. I run into the error: ################################## RuntimeError: In instant.recompile: The module did not compile with command 'make VERBOSE=1', see '/home/chris/.instant/error/dolfin_compile_code_c8b988ab6016262c9eebd6dc8482b98c0cf05c33/compile.log' ################################## I believe the key lines in the log file are: ################################## /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libsuitesparseconfig.a(SuiteSparse_config.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `malloc' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libsuitesparseconfig.a: error adding symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ################################## I have tried all permutations of purging via ppa-purge, apt-get remove, apt-get purge, followed by the ppa installation instructions. All routes lead back to the same error and same message in the instant log file. As another data point: On a different computer, a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04, followed by a clean install of Fenics 1.6 (via ppa) yields a perfectly working copy. I have found a similar account of the problem here, http://fenicsproject.org/qa/7402/expression-does-not-work-anymore but have been unable to resolve it from the supplied information. Many thanks for any help you can provide. - Chris _______________________________________________ fenics-support mailing list [email protected] http://fenicsproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fenics-support
