Trilinos is already available as a package in Ubuntu. It is currently not in a great shape and the version is somewhat old (10.4.0). The package in Ubuntu comes from Debian (as many other packages), where it is maintained by the Debian Science team. As a member of that team, I did an effort earlier this year to upgrade the package to version 10.8.5 (mostly because DOLFIN now requires version 10.8.1 or later). This package has not been uploaded to Debian yet and it is therefore not available in the standard repositories in Debian or Ubuntu, but it will be eventually. The Trilinos package in the FEniCS PPA is based on the work I did to upgrade to 10.8.5 Johannes _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~fenics Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~fenics More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
