I initially pulled from git a couple of months back and had no trouble building. After updating to macOS 10.15.6 I’m seeing the error below. Unfortunately, I also pulled fresh sources for freeFEM. Thus the sources may have changed, or the updated build tools (supplemented with Home-brew) may have changed. cd MUMPS\_5.0.2 && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make d /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make ARITH=d mumps\_lib (cd libseq; /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make) gfortran -O -g -DNDEBUG -O3 -O3 -O3 -fPIC -c mpi.f -o mpi.o mpi.f:566:72: 566 | CALL MUMPS\_COPY\_LOGICAL( SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT ) | 1 Error: Type mismatch in argument ‘s’ at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to LOGICAL(4) mpi.f:568:72: 568 | CALL MUMPS\_COPY\_REAL( SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT ) | 1 Error: Type mismatch in argument ‘s’ at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to REAL(4) mpi.f:571:72: 571 | CALL MUMPS\_COPY\_DOUBLE\_PRECISION( SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT ) | 1 Error: Type mismatch in argument ‘s’ at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to REAL(8) mpi.f:573:72: 573 | CALL MUMPS\_COPY\_COMPLEX( SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT ) | 1 Error: Type mismatch in argument ‘s’ at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to COMPLEX(4) mpi.f:575:72: 575 | CALL MUMPS\_COPY\_DOUBLE\_COMPLEX( SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT ) | 1 Error: Type mismatch in argument ‘s’ at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to COMPLEX(8) mpi.f:577:72: 577 | CALL MUMPS\_COPY\_2DOUBLE\_PRECISION( SENDBUF, RECVBUF, COUNT ) | 1 Error: Type mismatch in argument ‘s’ at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to REAL(8) make[8]: \*\*\* [mpi.o] Error 1 make[7]: \*\*\* [libseqneeded] Error 2 make[6]: \*\*\* [d] Error 2 make[5]: \*\*\* [MUMPS\_5.0.2/FAIT] Error 2 make[4]: \*\*\* [compile-dir] Error 2 make[3]: \*\*\* [tag-compile-pkg] Error 1 make[2]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1 make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 ---

Apologies. I see this is a problem on MUMPS. Possibly due to an update to gfortran. Adding the gfortran option -fallow-argument-mismatch allow mpi.f to compile ---

You can also let PETSc compile MUMPS with `make petsc-slepc`, and then `./reconfigure --disable-fortran`. ---

Hi Same problem for me. The `./reconfigure --disable-fortran` method did not work for me. As for the other method, can you explain me how you changed the gfortran options to compile correctly ? Thanks ---

Things are getting even worse… To make sure to redo every steps of the compilations I did a `make clean` and then `make petsc-slepc` in the ff-petsc directory and now it fails to recompute slepc !

Nothing to do with SLEPc… It says ScaLAPACK, not SLEPc. You need to switch to the develop branch. ---

OK. So switched to develop branch. I had to do `./reconfigure --disable-fortran` to succeed compilation of mpi.f Now compilation succeeds but new problem: `(base) fabred@autonome232:FreeFem-sources$ src/mpi/FreeFem++-mpi` `src/mpi/FreeFem++-mpi dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libhdf5.103.dylib Referenced from: /Users/fabred/FreeFem-sources/src/mpi/FreeFem++-mpi Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6` Thanks for help ! * * * EDIT : problem finally fixed using develop branch with configure options `--disable-fortran --disable-iohdf5 --with-hdf5=no --without-hdf5 ` ---

A quick search on the forum returns [this](https://community.freefem.org/t/help-installing-freefem-in-ubuntu-19-10/269/2) solution. ---

Just for completeness … I am able to compile by manually adding “-fallow-argument-mismatch” when needed. I’ll try the configure options and report back. ---

I’m able to build with David’s suggested configure change. I get two FAIL during “make check” and will follow up with another thread.
