Make test fail after installation

[Sou Ren]

Hello there,

I am new to deal.ii and I am currently at installation stage.

To install the code I followed mostly the tutorial given here and I also had a look at this page . There are slight differences but I don't think it makes huge difference at the end.

Here is my problem I downloaded the code and unpacked it then following the instructions on the video I compiled and installed the code. But for the test part I did not implement the "cd examples/step-1" command and instead I ran the "make test" command.

seven out of eight tests were run successfully but the last one failed giving the following error :

What's wrong?

Hi,

It looks like your deal.II installation picked up a gmsh binary and
configured deal.II with support for gmsh. This is done by calling the
binary and if it is not compiled/installed with the correct set of
features the test might fail.

If you don't plan to use the gmsh interface in deal.II you can safely
ignore the test failure.

Best,
Matthias

Wow that was a quick response.

Thanks for your help Matthias. 

Well as I mentioned I am new to deal.ii and am at the discovering stage. But I risk to get back to you in the future for this error message.

Thanks again
