Dear Ardavan, Steven, and all meep enthusiasts, I have used Ardavan’s instructions (meep-discuss, 26 July 2017) for Ubuntu 16.04 and applied them to Ubuntu 17.04. Meep, h5utils, and dependencies install without error, both in the stand-alone version and in the mpi version. It might be noted that two trivial lines in the instructions are omitted for the installation of fftw-3.3.4, (tar xvzf fftw-3.3.4, cd fftw-3.3.4/). These lines are included in the accompanying bash script.
Using "sudo apt-get install meep” to download and install the meep package on 17.04 from the Ubuntu repository still results in an error at meep run time. This package installs guile-2.0.13 rather than guile-2.0.11 per Ardavan’s instructions.
