ufc problems

Asked by Przemek on 2009-12-12

Hello,
I have a problem installing Dolfin. I've downloaded UFC from the website (version 1.2.0) and used scons install. But now I run scons configure in dolfin dir and this is what I get:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Seems that ufc is not properly installed or configured... Please help ;)

Can you point out in which directory you installed UFC? And try navigating to that_directory/lib/pkgconfig and see it contains a file called ufc-1.pc.

Ah, ok, it's installed in /usr/local/ and so I've set up the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include that dir. Now the error is gone, but I get a new one:

*** Unable to import UFC. Install latest UFC

What does it mean?

It means that you have enabled PyDOLFIN, and the configure process cannot
figure out how to import the ufc python module.

You need to update:

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib
   export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/local/lib/python2.X/site-packages

We might add a notice about this in the README file of ufc? Maybe generate a
ufc.conf file?
