Hi all,

I'm having trouble installing FiPy on my Ubuntu OS.
I've followed the installation from the website:

$ VERSION=x.y-z  # choose the version you want
$ apt-get install gmsh libsuperlu3 python-central python-sparse
$ curl -O http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/download/python-fipy_${VERSION}_all.deb
$ dpkg -i python-fipy_${VERSION}_all.deb

There was an error in the apt-get line for python-central:

"Package python-central is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-central' has no installation candidate"

Does this package 'python-central' not exist anymore? Is there another I
can download in its place?

I went ahead with the curl and dpkg commands.
I got some more errors.

"kblawlor@wizrd:~$ sudo dpkg -i python-fipy_${VERSION}_all.deb
Selecting previously unselected package python-fipy.
(Reading database ... 194884 files and directories currently installed.)

 python-fipy depends on python-matplotlib; however:
  Package python-matplotlib is not installed.
 python-fipy depends on python-scipy; however:
  Package python-scipy is not installed.
 python-fipy depends on gmsh; however:
  Package gmsh is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package python-fipy (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 python-fipy"

These dependency problems are probably related to not having
'python-central'.
Any pointers?

Thanks,
Kyle
