import dolfin suggests ffc is not installed

[Pete Kekenes-Huskey]

Hello I installed dolfin via apt-get (ubuntu 14.04) and upon calling dolfin via import, it complained that ffc wasn't installed, though I believe it is:

pmke226@kafka:~$ sudo apt-get install python-ffc
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done python-ffc is already the newest version. python-ffc set to manually installed. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. pmke226@kafka:~$ python -c "import dolfin"

---

DOLFIN runtime dependency is not met. Install the following python module: 'ffc' and make sure its location is listed in PYTHONPATH.

---

Since the python ffc module is installed via apt-get, would i need to explicitly define its location via python path?

Thanks! Pete

This is not a bug in DOLFIN. Please send this problem to the fenics-support mailing list.

Reinstall sympy might fix it if there are errors while runing ‘from sympy import * ’
