I have added the DEAL_II_DIR variable in the cmake section of vscode as
follows:[image: picture1.png]
Also, i have added the following lines to the .bashrc file for setting up
the environment:
export SPACK_ROOT=/home/vinayak/spack
export PATH="$SPACK_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
MODULES_HOME=$(spack location -i environment-modules)
source ${MODULES_HOME}/init/bash
. $SPACK_ROOT/share/spack/setup-env.sh
Now I get a different error:
`
cannot open source file "mpi.h" (dependency of "deal.II/grid/tria.h")
`
And i am still not able to use dealii upon terminal launch without using
"spack load dealii". Not sure what more changes i need to make to the
vscode setting to make this work. Can you point me to it?
Thanks
Vinayak
