FEniCS installation problem - UFC

Hello everyone!

I am trying to install FEniCS and have come across an error at building the UFC package. More specifically I get this in terminal:

Fetching ufc-deprecated

Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Failure with exit status: 1
Exit message: There was a problem configuring ufc-deprecated.

Can anyone assist me with this matter? Thanx in advance!

UFC has been part of FFC for more than three years and the repository you are cloning is deprecated (as the name indicates). What instructions are you following for installing FEniCS?

I am using the command:

./dorsal.sh  FEniCS/platforms/myplatform.platform

with the following package installation configuration at myplatform.platform file:

PACKAGES=( 
#cusp 
cgal 
parmetis 
trilinos 
petsc 
slepc 
# swiginac 
fiat 
# ferari 
ufc 
ufl 
ffc 
# syfi 
instant 
dolfin 
)

If I skip UFC package would I have a problem in the future?

I don't know - we haven't used dorsal for installing FEniCS for many years now.
