INSTALL: Subprocess.CalledProcessError when installing the package about firedrake

[connorjward]

The log is is failing to build libsupermesh because of the cmake version:

Is this the most recent log file? Because if so your efforts to use a more recent version of cmake have not worked.

Having just checked we always install cmake for linux platforms by default. Could you try running firedrake-install with --no-package-manager after running sudo apt remove cmake? You should check that cmake --version gives you a more modern version before running firedrake-install.

I tried some other things, and ended up deleting and installing firedrake again, and also tried to upgrade it. I tried to upgrade cmake following

sudo remove cmake sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.20.2/cmake-3.20.2.tar.gz tar -zxvf cmake-3.20.2.tar.gz cd cmake-3.20.2 ./bootstrap make

Then, I once again ran firedrake-update in the virtual environment, and my most recent logs are the following:
firedrake-install.log

firedrake-update.log

Ironically, after doing all this, cmake --version gives me "3.16.3".

The install script automatically installs cmake from apt. You should pass --no-package-manager to disable this.
