py36-ffc exists. It is saying:

Failed to fetch py36-ffc: py-ffc needs boost installed with a mpi variant 

But I don't see that variant.

$ port variants py36-ffc 
py36-ffc has no variants

Frank and Sean - Thanks for looking at this so quickly.

Sorry - The boost message seems to be a red herring. I encountered this problem yesterday when I had boost installed with +mpich_devel. I put back +mpich_devel in my boost installation, but that has no effect.

There seems to be some confusion in the port files between py-ffc and py36-ffc, and things still do not work for me. Or am I misinterpreting the message? See below:

[n9287103:~/macports] dimits1% port installed | grep boost

boost @1.66.0_3+mpich_devel+no_single+no_static+python27 (active)

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The message and test is coming from py-ffc.

[ADimits (Andris Dimits)]

I figured out roughly what the problem was.

The test in the portfile that trigers the build failure is

post-fetch {

if {![file exists ${python.pkgd}/boost/mpi.so]} {

return -code error "${name} needs boost installed with a mpi variant "

So, I went looking for boost/mpi.so in the python3.6 site packages directory. It wasn't there. It turned out that the boost variant installed by the attempts to install dolfin or py-ffc was

boost-1.66.0_3+mpich_devel+no_single+no_static+python27

which is not the one they actually need. I have not figured out what controls this choice of boost variant, but at present the fix/kludge seems to be to manually install boost with the +python36 variant instead of letting the boost or py-ffc choose the variant.

I am also trying to install python dolfin,

sudo port install py-dolfin ---> Computing dependencies for py-dolfinw The following dependencies will be installed:

dolfin py36-dolfin py36-ffc py36-ply pybind11 python36 python3_select

Error: Follow ​https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. Error: Processing of port py-dolfin failed

I also test that the boost already installed with openmpi port installed | grep boost

boost @1.66.0_3+no_single+no_static+openmpi+python27 (active)

anyone can help me? Thanks!
