Pablo,

can you try putting the source directory path at the end of the cmake
command as in
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pablo/dealii
-DOPENCASCADE_DIR=/usr/local/include/oce /home/pablo/dealii/source

Hello Timo,

Pablo,

Did you see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dealii/rTx7Fea65dM ?

Can you try without Opencascade and a clean build directory? Do you get this error also with the latest release tarball?

Best,

Daniel

[Pablo Perez del Castillo]

Yes, i tried without opencascade, and i doewnloaded tar, and then zip, and then from git pull.

Hello,

I am using xubuntu 16.04 as a newbie and trying to install deal.ii. At the stage of building the error shown as below emerged unfortunately. I tried the same way with a different release (i.e. deal.ii-8.5.0) and faced with the similar problem again. I checked another replies to fix it, but I could do nothing.

Does anybody know how to solve such a problem?

Versions used for the installation:

cmake-3.8.2

deal.ii-8.4.2

Thanks,

daieren@daieren:~/deal.ii$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/daieren/deal.ii/ /home/daieren/deal.ii-8.4.2/source

Hi,

this looks strange. Try:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/daieren/deal.ii/ /home/daieren/deal.ii-8.4.2
The source directory that you want to give to CMake is the directory which contains the top CMakeLists.txt

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your reply!

I changed the source directory as you suggested firstly. But, building did not take place unexpectedly in the directory where I wanted to install; did instead in the source directly. As you guess, installation collapsed, unfortunately.

Then, I tried the same way in deal.ii-8.5.0, and no problem happened during building and installation. However, after make test command, I received output of failure. Detailed.log and related feedback in terminal are attached.

Cheers,

I think it is the same problem though. You should create a directory
build. From this directory, you type the cmake command then make. When
it's done you type 'make install'. This will install the library in
the path you gave (basically it moves the files that you need to the
install directory). Then, you can remove the build directory.

Best,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

I followed procedure as you said;

mkdir build-directory

later, within the build-directory; cmake command > make > make install > make test

, and then got the same error. Detailed.log is appended.

Am I doing something wrong insistently?

Does the file /home/daieren/dealii-master/tests/test.h exist? To me it
looks like a problem with the test itself not your install. Can you
run the tutorials?

Best,

Bruno

[Bulent Tokay]

Hi Bruno,

I checked if test.h is present. Nothing is there. You are right. There is no problem. Tutorials work..

Thanks a lot! :)

Best regards,
