mpi dependency in dolfin via boost

[gideonsimpson]

There is some kind of problem with the boost variant with mpich. While I could get by without mpi support, py27-ffc appears to require an mpi version of boost. If the boost problem can't be fixed, can we at least get a serial version of dolfin?

dolfin needs boost.MPI so I don't see how.

Then it seems that the current version of dolfin is crippled, since boost MPI doesn't work.

Replying to gideon.simpson@…:

What's the exact error? Also, what variants do you have for boost?

It's installing boost-1.59.0_2+mpich+no_single+no_static+python27.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2, and this is the tail of the log file:

I completely deleted my macports installation and installed again, and now I can get boost +mpich built. However, there's now a vtk5 build issue. I'm going to post the issue to that port.
