The mess of package names

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all,
While this may seem to be a bit off topic, I feel that I may get answers 
faster here than any where else. This problem applies to Debian, Ubuntu 
and, to some extent, Mac OS.

I have spent the last month and a half ( or longer) trying to compile 
and link a program called Elmer FEM. The problem that I keep running 
into is the naming practices in Elmer (and all the documents) vs 
Debian/Ubuntu. Elmer requires the following  libraries:
  Mumps, MPI, OpenMP, FETI4I as a minimum. Hypre and trilinos have to be 
compiled from source code. The problem is that none if the four 
libraries go under the names mentioned above. By loading everything that 
even came close to the Elmer names I finally got a build that failed in 
the make process (the package uses cmake). The failure is due to the 
missing FETI4I library which have never found.

What I need is a cross reference between Mumps, MPI, OpenMP and FETI4I 
and the library names in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories.

Please, please help. Very frustrated.

Gary R.
