Re: -lamd error

 

I'm sorry, you are right.

I guess trying the new build system might help?

Yes, it is. Both the location of the header files and of the library
 files are located. I get an error using scons when the dev-packages are
 not installed.

 Maybe Hatef could run 'python umfpack.py' in
 dolfin/scons/simula-scons/simula_scons/pkgconfiggenerators, and include
 the output (if any error), as well as the file umfpack.pc that will be
 generated in the same folder.

 Also, the file dolfin/scons/simula_scons.log could be of interest. It is
 generated when using scons in the main dolfin folder.

He said he's using make, not the new scons build system.
