1) If the built package from official Ubuntu repos does not work out of the box after installation, then it is a bug. Please, report it accordingly in the Ubuntu bug tracker at https://bugs.launchpad.net/. 2) If you want to install libctl3-3.1.0.2 and prevent it from being upgraded to later version (e.g. to libctl3-3.1.0-5) then use apt-get pinning. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto Hope it helps, S.Nizamov _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
