Hi. I just recently subscribed to dolfin-dev list so I am missing the very beginning of this thread. But the subject is exactly the error message that I get during the installation os SyFi. Just in case it may be useful, here is some additional info. System: OpenSuse 11.0, x86_64, all the latest versions of Fenics packages obtained via Mercurial. I also have all the prerequisites installed.
Sincerely, Victor Prosolin.
