Installing Firedrake on Ubuntu in AWS.

Linux hostname 5.15.0-1049-aws #54~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 6 22:04:33 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am doing

pip install --no-binary h5py "firedrake @ git+https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake.git#[test]"

And there seems to be no firedrake-install.log as mentioned in the reporting FAQ. I even searched for it and there are no results.

$ find . -name '*.log'
./petsc/configure.log
./petsc/make.log
./petsc/RDict.log
./petsc/arch-linux-c-debug/externalpackages/git.sowing/config.log
./petsc/arch-linux-c-debug/lib/petsc/conf/configure.log
./petsc/arch-linux-c-debug/lib/petsc/conf/make.log
./petsc/arch-linux-c-debug/lib/petsc/conf/gmake.log
./petsc/arch-linux-c-debug/lib/petsc/conf/error.log
./hdf5-1.10.6/config.log

But I'm guessing the results from the terminal while trying to install it would be informative.

(venv-firedrake) (base) ubuntu@ip-172-31-43-51:~$ pip install --no-binary h5py "firedrake @ git+https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake.git#[test]"
DEPRECATION: --no-binary currently disables reading from the cache of locally built wheels. In the future --no-binary will not influence the wheel cache. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use the --no-cache-dir option. You can use the flag --use-feature=no-binary-enable-wheel-cache to test the upcoming behaviour. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11453

I have tried installing HDF5 but 1.10.4 is the latest the Ubuntu version supplies. So I tried installing 1.10.6 from source and removing the system package of 1.10.4, but this does not change the error at all.

I have searched for issues like this and found nothing yet. I will continue searching, but also appreciate any pointers if anyone has solved this.

Alternatively, it appears that the Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 (the last two lts releases) have new enough hdf 5 versions. You are using 20.04 which is rather long in the tooth. You should be able to specify a newer Ubuntu to AWS.

That seems to be an h5py issue rather than a Firedrake one. It appears that h5py increased their hdf5 version between 3.12 and 3.13: h5py/h5py@0b8e21e

If you only have 1.10.4 then you probably need to install h5py version 3.12.1 or earlier.

Thanks for the help! I'll start by trying Ubuntu 24.04.
