The mess of package names
Hi all,
While this may seem to be a bit off topic, I feel that I may get answers
faster here than any where else. This problem applies to Debian, Ubuntu
and, to some extent, Mac OS.
I have spent the last month and a half ( or longer) trying to compile
and link a program called Elmer FEM. The problem that I keep running
into is the naming practices in Elmer (and all the documents) vs
Debian/Ubuntu. Elmer requires the following libraries:
Mumps, MPI, OpenMP, FETI4I as a minimum. Hypre and trilinos have to be
compiled from source code. The problem is that none if the four
libraries go under the names mentioned above. By loading everything that
even came close to the Elmer names I finally got a build that failed in
the make process (the package uses cmake). The failure is due to the
missing FETI4I library which have never found.
What I need is a cross reference between Mumps, MPI, OpenMP and FETI4I
and the library names in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories.
Please, please help. Very frustrated.
Gary R.
