When trying to integrate on an interval using int1D, I get the following error message because meshL command doesn’t work even with load “msh3”, load “medit”.

```auto
meshL The Identifier meshL does not exist 

```

How to properly build a meshL object when these commands, as well as “segment”, do not work.  
The version I have is FreeFem+±cs 14.3 on Windows 11.

You just need to upgrade FreeFEM-cs. There are two ways:

- get a new version of FreeFEM-cs from [https://www.ljll.fr/lehyaric/ffcs/](https://www.ljll.fr/lehyaric/ffcs/)

- or, if you want to keep your current interface, you can install a new version of FreeFEM from [https://freefem.org/](https://freefem.org/) and click “Compute/Use External FreeFEM” in FreeFEM-cs

Please let us know how it goes.
