No way of installing dolfin via brew

[sniis84]

I tried both:

brew install dolfin

having this issue

Already downloaded: /Users/nicholas/Library/Caches/Homebrew/dolfin-1.6.0.tar.gz ==> cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/dolfin/1.6.0 -DBUILD_SHARE ==> make Last 15 lines from /Users/nicholas/Library/Logs/Homebrew/dolfin/02.make: PetscOptionsSetValue("-mat_superlu_dist_colperm", "MMD_AT_PLUS_A"); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/local/include/petscoptions.h:30:29: note: candidate function not viable: requires 3 arguments, but 2 were provided PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode PetscOptionsSetValue(PetscOptions,const char[],const char[]); ^ /tmp/dolfin-20170211-14242-i0fd43/dolfin-1.6.0/dolfin/common/SubSystemsManager.cpp:195:5: error: no matching function for call to 'PetscOptionsInsert' PetscOptionsInsert(&argc, &argv, PETSC_NULL); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/local/include/petscoptions.h:39:29: note: candidate function not viable: requires 4 arguments, but 3 were provided PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode PetscOptionsInsert(PetscOptions,int*,char ***,const char[]); ^ 4 errors generated. make[2]: *** [dolfin/CMakeFiles/dolfin.dir/common/SubSystemsManager.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [dolfin/CMakeFiles/dolfin.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2

and

brew install dolfin --HEAD

getting

`cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/dolfin/HEAD-ca54d8c -DBUIL

Could you please help me to understand what is missing in the compile process.
Many thanks!

Sorry FEniCS is giving you trouble. What's missing is time for me to look into this. FEniCS is a moving target and so are its dependencies. I'm currently too busy to try and fix this so any help in the form of pull requests would be greatly appreciated.

@dpo is could be nice just to have a clear idea on how to install this for OS X (if it exists).
Because I've seen that there are 1000 of ways and not a clear one, not even the instructions here are not working...

I think I'll stop wasting time.
