I just needed to do a fresh Meep install, on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04. As usual, I used the script in the "build from source" section of the docs. All was well, except:

1) The meep python package is installed to /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages but that directory is not added to the PYTHONPATH environment variable. I guess for many users it will already have been added by installation of other packages.

2) I had to retain the line:
    sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
which is marked as only needed for Ubuntu 16.04. If that line is commented out the build completes successfully but it leads to "meep has no Vector3 object" errors.

Hope that helps someone,

Ian
