Re: [Libmesh-users] problem with ./configure

[Paul T. B. <ptb...@gm...>]

Thanks for the report.

If you don't need metaphysicl, probably the quickest thing you can do is
pass `--disable-metaphysicl`
to libmesh configure.

What compiler are you using? I wonder if it's too old to build that boost
module?
Could you send along your config.log (can send to me directly, the mailing
list will strip it).
I'm curious to see what caused that failure.
