[deal.II] Re: Installation using Spack fails during 'ncurses' installation

2017-03-17 Thread Stephen DeWitt
Bruno, Jean-Paul, and Denis, Thank you all for your responses. As suggested, I'll send a message to the Spack forum and/or open an issue on their GitHub site. In the meantime, I'll continue debugging the manual PETSc installation to see if I can get that to work. I think the filesystem I'm tryin
