In instant.recompile: The module did not compile with command 'make VERBOSE=1'

Question

I am trying to simply import a python module, called fenicstools. However I get the error

In instant.recompile: The module did not compile with command 'make VERBOSE=1'

I ran instant-clean, and tried again, but got the same error. I checked the instant.recompile file and this was there :

What seems to be the issue here ?

I'm guessing that you try to use a fenicstools version that is not compatible with your installed FEniCS. If you can, the easiest match would be using the 1.3.0 release of both FEniCS and fenicstools.

Thanks Øyvind Evju. I had forgotten about that!

However I reinstalled the 1.3.0 release. Still got the same error. I did instant-clean, and now its working properly!

As Øyvind Evju commented, I was using the wrong version of fenicstools. The 1.3.0 release is available here :

https://github.com/mikaem/fenicstools/releases

Installing it fixed the issue (after running instant-clean).

Thanks Øyvind Evju.
