Re: Question Installation Example not running

 

Hi Bo,
Thanks for the feedback. I just tried it. I start the FEniCS shell, cd into the
/Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/share/dolfin
directory and hit
$ source dolfin.conf
Then I run the same comand as below to try to run the demo_poisson.py example. I still get the same error. What could this be? As I understand, I dont require to install other things seperately, everything should come with the FEniCS package, right?

Martin

    Dear List
    I'm new to FE methods and I hope to learn about FE methods through
    FEniCS. I posted this question on the FEniCS answers page, but I
    guess that was the wrong place since I have not received any
    feedback. I hope I'll get some help here, because I'm rather
    unsure about what the problem could be.
    I installed the FEniCS binary on my MacBook Pro running under
    MacOS X 10.6.3 as described in the installation instructions.
    Installation seems successful, at least i can open the fenics
    terminal.
    So I 'cd' into

    $
    /Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/share/dolfin/demo/pde/poisson/python

    and hit

    $ python demo_poisson.py

    This is what I get:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "demo_poisson.py", line 37, in <module>

    ImportError:

    2): no suitable image found. Did find:
     /Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dolfin/_cpp.so:
    mach-o, but wrong architecture

    Any help would be very appreciated. I though before I start
    screwing up a clean installation, I just ask for help because it
    might be a minor thing to fix.
    Kind regards and thank you for the great work.
    Martin
