[Libmesh-users] Libmesh installation

[Martin T. <tr...@gi...>]

I just went through installing libmesh on an AMD 64 processor running 
Ubuntu. Ondrej's notes on the Wiki have been VERY helpful. Here is a 
useful addition for the "uninitiated" user:
It might be necessary to install some additional libraries in the 
process. For example, it is not sufficient to have mpich-bin 
installed, you also need libmpich1.0-dev. Without that PetSc did not 
configure properly. Also, to link the examples, I had to install zlib1g-dev.

I tried to add this to the Wiki, but I cannot figure out how to 
create an account. I have one at sourceforge, but that's apparently 
not the same. On the Wiki page there is a link "Log in or create 
account" which leads to a login page. For "create account" it says 
"use form below", which does not exist.

cheers
