installation

Hi,

I was trying to run FEniCS with the tutorial examples. However I always meet the error as follow, it always happens at the Expression line, anyone met this problem before? :

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I’m getting the same error, did you manage to find a solution to this?

3

Could you post a minimum working example that reproduces the error?
