Installing and Compiling FEniCS via C++ on Ubuntu 16.04 Issue

Question

Alright so I have installed FEniCS on my Ubuntu 16.04 OS.

I intend to use it with C++ and as a consequence, I wanted to start by working some of the demos like the Poisson equation given on your website.

For a full yet not too detailed an explanation, please refer to my question (neatly) posted on the following,

http://askubuntu.com/questions/831557/running-fenics-demo-after-installation-issue

N.B.
*The only reason why I did not repost this in here is because whenever I do, I get the following error: "Maximum length is 8000 characters" *

I hope you could assist me as soon as possible, thank you !

Answer 1

It seems you are trying to build examples from version 1.4.0, but you have installed a more recent version with ppa (I guess 2016.1.0). Please use version 2016.1.0 also for the tutorials.

Best,
Francesco

Thank you Francesco,

I have already moved my post from askubuntu to stackoverflow (due to the more number of users). Anyway I wanted to give you credit for your correct answer and so I mentioned your account name back there. If you indeed have an account there (on stackoverflow) please feel free to edit and include your username.
