INSTALL: ImportError when running firedrake-update on Linux

[adiegel]

I recently attempted to update firedrake on my Linux machine (running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS). It has been a couple of years since I ran the update and I am not sure if that is the reason for the failure. If so, I can try uninstalling and reinstalling, but wanted to seek advice before doing so.

I got the following error:

Error message Updating the git repository for h5py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mathstudent/firedrake/src/../bin/firedrake-update", line 2014, in build_and_install_h5py() File "/home/mathstudent/firedrake/src/../bin/firedrake-update", line 1225, in build_and_install_h5py changed |= not is_installed("h5py") File "/home/mathstudent/firedrake/src/../bin/firedrake-update", line 1763, in is_installed importlib.import_module(name) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/init.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "", line 1050, in _gcd_import File "", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "", line 883, in exec_module File "", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/home/mathstudent/firedrake/lib/python3.10/site-packages/h5py/init.py", line 25, in from . import _errors ImportError: libhdf5.so.200: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am also including the file firedrake-install.log and the 'configure.log' file.

firedrake-update.log configure.log

firedrake-update is unlikely to work if you haven't run it for a long time. Rather than debugging the issues I would strongly recommend a fresh install.

Thanks! I will do that.
