Asked by osman

Hello,
I downloaded a recent development version trying to build fenics 1.2. The last failure is while configuring dolfin :

Looks like can't find armadillo, but is was successfully build by dorsal earlier. Work/FEniCS/src/armadillo-3.6.1 has a file called dorsal_successful_build.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

cmake version 2.8.5, gcc 4.6.1

It looks like DOLFIN is picking up an old version of Armadillo. Make sure that "armadillo" is listed in your platform file and that it is not commented out by a '#'.

I have not changed the platform files. It is listed as the first name for PACKAGES list. Not commented out.
How can I find out what it is picking (location etc) so I can remove it. I don't see it on my system:
aptitude search armadil
p libarmadillo-dev - streamlined C++ linear algebra library - Headers
c libarmadillo2 - streamlined C++ linear algebra library

my /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib and /opt, /usr/include, /usr/local/include do not have it either.

Look in /home/osman/Work/FEniCS/src/dolfin-1.2.0/dorsal_build_dir/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log. It should tell you way it fails.

Thanks. It pointed to a problem with my system. Moving the intel install (renaming it) solved the armadillo problem.
Now I have to take care of vtk5.10 lib in my /usr/local not having shared versions. I had built it for another project which did not need the shared version. The ubuntu release of vtk is earlier but complete, so I need to move my libs to somewhere dolfin cmake will not find. My problems are due to my system (or my actions), I should be able to fix. I was able to build earlier fenics without any problems.
