Hi Carsten,

Unfortunately, I can confirm that the Conda-based process does not currently 
work on

Debian 9.


$ ./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

$ cat /absolute/path/to/miniconda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh >> ~/.bashrc

$ . ~/.bashrc

$ conda update conda

$ conda create --name fipy --channel guyer --channel conda-forge python=2.7 
numpy scipy gmsh pysparse mpi4py matplotlib mayavi fipytrilinos weave

$ conda activate fipy

$ python

Python 2.7.15 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, May  8 2018, 14:46:53)
[GCC 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-15)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import fipy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named fipy
>>>


I can partially work around this problem by hybridizing the Conda and GitHub 
installation methods,

i.e. let Conda install the prereqs, then install FiPy from source.

$ conda activate fipy

$ conda install -n fipy gmsh

$ git clone https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy

$ cd fipy

$ python setup.py install

$ python
Python 2.7.15 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, May  8 2018, 14:46:53)

>>> from fipy import test
>>> test()
...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 347 tests in 4.113s

OK
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skipped 105 doctest examples because `gmsh` cannot be found on the $PATH
Skipped 83 doctest examples because the `tvtk` package cannot be imported
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The failure to recognize gmsh -- which is most definitely present on $PATH -- 
is vexing.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Hi,

Since the macOS install didn’t result in much, I tried it under Linux. No luck, 
it’s actually even worse. I cannot import fipy without generating errors. It 
appears to hang on

‘Could not import any solver package’

I saw that some reported the same problem but I didn’t see a solution. SciPy is 
installed, of course. This is following the recommended installation modality 
using miniconda.

Carsten
