Comment 3 for bug 1013466

The bottom line is that I have tried three ways to run dolfin:

1. Compile and install in .local procduces this error:
ImportError: /usr/lib/petscdir/3.1/linux-gnu-c-opt/lib/libpetsc.so.3.1: undefined symbol: H5Pset_dxpl_mpio

2. Install from Ubuntu repositories and add to EPD path produces this error:
ImportError: /usr/lib/libpetsc.so.3.1: undefined symbol: H5Pset_dxpl_mpio

3. Remove EPD from path. Install fenics through Ubuntu. Run example examples-1.0/stationary/poisson/d1_p2D.py. Error:
ImportError:/home/chad/.instant/cache/fceecf1bb9e182af7207a4b16af02614b9d688fb/_fceecf1bb9e182af7207a4b16af02614b9d688fb.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_Decode;

So no matter what, I cannot get dolfin running. I'm going to try make the libpetsc link to see if that works. I'll post the result.
