Augh. This much I can explain: I copied the installation from .travis.yml without thinking about it. `conda create` does not explicitly install fipy because the whole point of that file is to test the current git commit, which is done later in the recipe. Adding `fipy` to the `conda create` line should be sufficient.
I believe the gmsh issue is that the [gmsh-feedstock](https://github.com/guyer/gmsh-feedstock) recipe I wrote has a runtime dependency on gcc that isn't satisfied on Debian, but is on the Ubuntu image that TravisCI sets up. I'll not be able to look into this for at least three weeks. Ideally, the gcc dependency should not be necessary, but reckless usage of apt-get could probably resolve the issue. As I recall, attempting to run gmsh from the command line is more instructive than letting fipy do it. > On Jul 20, 2018, at 1:28 PM, Keller, Trevor (Fed) <trevor.kel...@nist.gov> > wrote: > > 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. > > Trevor > From: fipy-boun...@nist.gov <fipy-boun...@nist.gov> on behalf of Carsten > Langrock <langr...@stanford.edu> > Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2018 9:20:54 PM > To: FIPY > Subject: FiPy on Linux > > Hi, > > Since the macOS install didn’t result in much, I tried it under Linux.
