dealii installation error : git clone failed

[Guy Moebs]

Hello,

I have to install aspect (https://aspect.geodynamics.org/) for some of our users on a linux cluster.

So I follow its instructions and I use the candi.sh script to install dealii.

At this point, trilinos is installed, and the next step is dealii.

But the download of dealii fails :

...

deal.II: configuration with P4EST
deal.II: configuration with HDF5
deal.II: configuration with TRILINOS
deal.II: configuration with SUNDIALS
Fetching dealii v9.5.2

Exit message: candi: git clone https://github.com/dealii/dealii.git deal.II-v9.5.2 failed

I tried several times but all attempts fail.

Thank you for your help

Guy,

According to this, it might be a network issue. It seems that using `git config --global pack.window 1` might solve the issue. You could also download the release tarball instead of cloning the repository.

Best,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

thank you for your answer and the link.
I try the several solutions proposed of the "stackoverflow" page but they fail.
I have downloaded the .tar.gz package and put it in the candi tree next to the others, it doesn't work too. candi.sh doesn't seem to see it and always try to git clone dealii.

i try adding the option "--depth 1" to the "git clone" command in candi.sh but it fails too

Regards,

   Guy.

Guy,

In deal.II-toolchain/packages/dealii.package try changing SOURCE=https://github.com/dealii/ to SOURCE=https://dealii.org/downloads/ and PACKING=git to PACKING=.tar.gz I haven't used CANDI in a long time so I am not sure this will work.

Best,

Bruno

thank you for this hint !
it works and the installation goes forward and ends correctly the compilation of deal.II... until an other compilation error with unknown Tpetra objects not found at link step but that's an other story !
