[aspect-devel] aspect ctest fails?

It is difficult to give instructions to get a "correct" installation. But:
1. You should get 100% pass if you use
www.math.clemson.edu/~heister/dealvm/ but you might need to pull the
latest development version of ASPECT.
2. If you are familiar with docker, you can run the identical thing
that the official tester runs. This is somewhat complicated and not
well-documented. In short:
# example usage:
# mount readonly, you need to copy results out (prefered):
#      docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/source:ro"
tjhei/aspect-tester-8.5.0 /bin/bash
#      $ QUIET=0 BUILDS="gcc" ./script.sh
3. With a recent ubuntu and using https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_dealii_candi&d=DwIBaQ&c=Ngd-ta5yRYsqeUsEDgxhcqsYYY1Xs5ogLxWPA_2Wlc4&r=c08Btfq4m9QEScXN3ZQwLZzzWQE7S8CYq1IYuzKV_Zk&m=DPivZBPOEI-UP75f30rZtZo04g0AOnxbQdh1ZjcliZg&s=XoENRSBZ-brYczf9iFncxNh5M6124SfDB88LU0sy0vE&e=  to
install all dependencies you might be able to get close too (this is
how 1&2 are made). Note that library versions might have changed
though.

Option 1&2 won't help you to verify if _your_ installation is working
as expected, so that is why we don't advertise it. I often use 2.
during development though.

One thing I should do in the future is tagging the exact version of
candi that I use in 1&2. The submodule at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_tjhei_dealii-2Dvm&d=DwIBaQ&c=Ngd-ta5yRYsqeUsEDgxhcqsYYY1Xs5ogLxWPA_2Wlc4&r=c08Btfq4m9QEScXN3ZQwLZzzWQE7S8CYq1IYuzKV_Zk&m=DPivZBPOEI-UP75f30rZtZo04g0AOnxbQdh1ZjcliZg&s=YDDBWLNfvIJA79YAAsumquMGwxwnwdAXYWVKpl2o0Dw&e=  is a good start, though.
