Identifier `savegmsh` does not exist

FreeFEM installation
1

Hello, I am a newbie to FreeFEM++ and I’ve been learning it for some days. Here there is something wrong with the learning…

Problem

I ran across a problem that is

177 : savegmsh The Identifier savegmsh does not exist
Error line number 177, in file schrodinger-harmonic-oscillator-2d-SLEPc.edp, before  token savegmsh

when I was trying the example. I wonder if it requires me to compile it by myself in order to reconfigure it --with-gmsh or something else like it?

The full log is here.

My environment:

Running command: ff-mpirun -np 1 schrodinger-harmonic-oscillator-2d-SLEPc.edp > dump.log

Is there anything else I should provide? Looking forward to your reply~

You probably need to add load "gmsh" to your script.

Thanks for the reply! I removed the savegmsh at the last line and it can run! Thank you.

May I ask an another question? It seems the plotMPI does not show any pictures or write them on disk. How can I make it work?

use the option -wg “with graphics” :
FreeFem+±mpi -wg

OK, thanks for the reply, I can view the wave function now!

I found where the issue is:

and

It seems ff-mpirun adds -nw by default and that argument can be canceled by -win -wg.

It’s not an “issue”, it’s the default behavior with FreeFem+±mpi.

OK. Thanks for the explanation!
