Oh, but the outer problem is that you should not ask ICT to pre-install Firedrake for you. In constrained environments -- when management does not give researchers root access to install things on their machines --, ICT should rather be asked to install the system dependencies of Firedrake. On macOS, this means homebrew, and the following homebrew packages:

- gcc
- openmpi or mpich
- python3
- autoconf
- automake
- cmake
- libtool
- mercurial


Then you can install Firedrake yourself, passing --no-package-manager to the install script.

Hi,


Can the firedrake install script be modified to use a different version of lbspatialindex ?

Given the error meesage below.


Some files from the gtest are missing.


It can build by hand but that requires an modification with every update.


Best wishes,


Onno & Tim

Dear Onno,

The firedake-install script fails to complete as there appears to be an error in the
configuration of the libspatialindex code which the script doesn't handle:

   libspatialindex/test/gtest/gtest-1.7.0:config.status:1140: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

gtest doesn't appear to be used as libspatialindex compiles without it (outside of the firedrake-install script).
Is there a way to get the firedake-install script to use a different version of libspatialindex rather
than downloading the head from the git repository every time.

Regards,
Tim.
