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) [GCC 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-15)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 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.

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 _____________________________________ Dipl.-Phys. Carsten Langrock, Ph.D. Senior Research Scientist Edward L.
