Error in rebuild Libmesh after reseting MOOSE to old version

[echo1115]

Hi all,
I have successfully installed MOOSE according to the tutorial of the following website：
https://mooseframework.inl.gov/getting_started/installation/conda.html

However, for some reason, i have to reset moose to old version, for example, the 2021 version (commit 25abc3b). So i run the following command:

cd ~/projects/moose
git reset --hard 25abc3b
git clean -xfd

And then clean the previous compilation:

cd ~/projects/moose/test
make clobberall

After that, i try to rebuild libmesh:

cd ~/projects/moose
./scripts/update_and_rebuild_libmesh.sh

However, it show errors finally :

here is the
libmesh_diagnostic.log

Please help to resolve the problem, thanks!

Part of the issue is, that you have install moose-libmesh (as denoted by the environment variable):

LIBMESH_DIR=/home/dcq/mambaforge3/envs/moose/libmesh

Yet you are also trying to install your own via the ./update_and_rebubild_libmesh.sh script. While this should work by completely overwriting what was installed by conda, you should refrain from doing so. I suggest you do the following:

Delete the current 'moose' environment, and start over, and not attempting to run ./update_and_rebuild_libmesh.sh

mamba activate base
mamba env remove -n moose
mamba create -n moose moose-tools moose-libmesh
mamba activate moose
cd ~/projects/moose
git clean -xfd
git submodule foreach --recursive git clean -xfd
cd test
make -j4
./run_tests -j 4

And continue with your end goal (building your own App, etc using Stork, etc)

I run the ./update_and_rebuild_petsc.sh AR=$AR, but it failed. The log file is here:
configure.log

Ubuntu usually doesn't give us this much trouble building MOOSE. Since you're trying to build a specific version of moose, I assume its built before on this machine? Any recent changes to the machine? bison for example is needed and it would seem this machine does not have it installed.

Lets install the basics (just in case) including bison and try again:

sudo apt install build-essential bison

Actually, i'm building moose in a Ubuntu virtual machine. I installed the moose sucessfully in the machine before, now i try to build a specific version of moose, (commit 25abc3b). It's odd that the bison should be installed, since it is a commercial Moose application that I don't have access to install. And I've never installed it before.

Perhaps you could suggest a commit ID for another possible 2021 version of moose. My main goal is to avoid mismatches between the new version of moose and the program I developed earlier.

Well the binary bison is referencing this: https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/

That hash should work, as its based on a master commit...
