Dear all, As explained in the title, I encounter critical issues in downloading 3rd party libraries upon rebuilding FreeFem++ after fresh ubuntu 24.04 installation. All configuration is fine except the `getall` part (see the output for `getall`[getall.log](https://community.freefem.org/uploads/short-url/btebwYSri3QqzVMBD1VpuwIM7Go.log) (10.4 KB) ). Does anyone know what can be the issue? Thanks for the help! ---

Could you try switching to the `develop` branch? ---

I do this to update: `git pull origin develop` so I should be on the develop branch right? If I type `git branch -a` I get: > - master > remotes/origin/HEAD → origin/master > remotes/origin/cwipi > remotes/origin/develop > remotes/origin/example-tags > remotes/origin/feature-github-actions > remotes/origin/feature-newplot > remotes/origin/kaij > remotes/origin/master > remotes/origin/new\_bem\_examples > remotes/origin/weird-partitioning ---

No, you also need to `git checkout develop` (sorry for the delay, tough day at work). ---

I did change to the `develop` branch, the problem with `./3rdparty/getall -a` persists. Several 3rd party fail to be downloaded, for example MUMPS: > Error download pkg/MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz > Download failed from [http://mumps.enseeiht.fr/MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz](http://mumps.enseeiht.fr/MUMPS_5.0.2.tar.gz) of MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz > Try other site: [http://pkgs.freefem.org/MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz](http://pkgs.freefem.org/MUMPS_5.0.2.tar.gz) > Error download pkg/MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz > Download 2 times failed from [http://pkgs.freefem.org/MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz](http://pkgs.freefem.org/MUMPS_5.0.2.tar.gz) of MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz > Try (2 times) other site: [http://104.46.50.187/pkg/MUMPS\_5.0.2.tar.gz](http://104.46.50.187/pkg/MUMPS_5.0.2.tar.gz) See [getall.log](https://community.freefem.org/uploads/short-url/mo9Jo0x8MpeplWqbvrk0cIF3eTt.log) (10.4 KB) for full log of the download As a matter of fact I just tried on another machine (ubuntu 20.04) that have a perfectly functionning FreeFem++ v4.14, and I get the very same error with `3rdparty/getall` It looks very much like an error that was reported previously on this [thread](https://community.freefem.org/t/installing-freefem-on-ubuntu-can-not-download-petsc/79) and seemed to be due to backup server was not up-to-date according to this [answer](https://community.freefem.org/t/installing-freefem-on-ubuntu-can-not-download-petsc/79/2) ---

I have also found this error on MacOS. (issue [here](https://github.com/FreeFem/FreeFem-sources/issues/300)) It seems there is not much effort to maintain the `3rdparty/getall` build process. If you use the PETSc interface, you can skip the `3rdparty/getall` step and get access to MUMPS and several other libraries that way. ---

Right, I’ve given up updating `3rdparty/getall` except for PETSc, so you should not expect other packages to be downloaded properly until someone else does the job. ---

Some links in the to download the 3rdparty are broken. To overcome this problem, you can edit yourself the link in the file “getall” of folder 3rdparty, similarly as download(‘libpthread-google’,‘[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties/main/libpthread-google.tar.gz](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties/main/libpthread-google.tar.gz)’, ‘[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties/main/](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties/main/)’, ‘libpthread-google.tar.gz’, ‘751874eb5d14d4f445a94df1aa0c56b6’); ---

you may need to adjust the md5 checksum for some files. just download the hosted file from > **[GitHub - FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties](https://github.com/FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties/tree/main)** > > main and get the md5 check sum from > **[MD5 File Checksum](https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/md5_checksum.html)** > > This MD5 online tool helps you calculate file hash by MD5 without uploading file. It also supports HMAC. ---

If you’ve done this, it would be nice to submit a pull request with your fixes to help other users! ---

It is not too bad to let the other users learning how to do this. I would have uploaded my getall file here if I were not restricted by the new users limitation. At the end, it is just a matter of replacing the url link in the download link which fails and adjust their md5 checksum. ---

I think maybe you could just download all the 3rdparties zips from the github link [GitHub - FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties](https://github.com/FreeFem/FreeFEM-3rdparties/tree/main) and put them in the correct folder. This help me solve the problem two weeks ago… ---

The technique to adjust the checksum from a downloaded file should be avoided. The checksum is meant to recognize a malicious version which would not have the same checksum. ---

Yes and know, it is also a test to get the correct version.
