RuntimeError: In instant.recompile: The module did not compile with command 'make VERBOSE=1'

hello,everyone. I ran sample code ft01_poisson.py using Fenics2016, Python2.7.15, and Conda environments, but the following error is prompted. May I ask where the problem may have occurred?

The following is the error message：
(fenics2016) xx@xx:/mnt/c/xx_files/研究生资料/课题资料/FEnics$ python ft01_poisson.py
Calling FFC just-in-time (JIT) compiler, this may take some time.

You have not added an error message to the post, so we cant help you.

It’s quite hard to debug conda error messages for a very outdated version of fenics.
Is there a reason you are sticking to python 2.7 and fenics 2016, and not something newer (say DOLFINx?)

Thank you very much for your answer!

Because I want to run a py file, the dependencies provided by the file are FENICS 2016.1 and matplotlib, and the file format is in Python 2 format.

If I run with the latest version of FEniCS, there will be errors, such as “editor. open (mesh, 2, 2)” not being recognized and an error will be reported.

You would have to provide the instructions you used in conda to install fenics, and what system you are on, for anyone to be able to reproduce the error, and then give you any guidance.
