Hi Phil Quick follow up. I was setting up a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and had zero issues building/running. I updated instructions on how to get *gfortran* on ubuntu and that you would need *curl*. See https://github.com/dealii/dealii/wiki/deal.II-in-Spack Make sure you do `*git pull*` in Spack before trying again, just so that we are on the same current version. Then 1. wipe your *~/.spack* (it has compiler and package settings) and contents of *spack/opt/spack/ *(installed packages). 2. *spack reindex* (will re-build the database of packages, namely that you have none installed). 3. *spack install dealii@develop*
p.s. it's a personal preference, but *I don't think that Candi is any easier than Spack* when you follow the very basic installation outlined on the WiKi. One of the advantages is that it gives you access to other 1243 packages (as of today). Cheers, Denis.
