Re: Mesh Refinement
I dont get that output. I get this:
"No cells marked for refinement, assuming uniform mesh refinement."
I followed the instructions for Jaunty on
http://www.fenics.org/wiki/Download. Could I have an older version? If
so, whats the best course of action...download the latest source and
compile it?
