Install freefem 4.9

FreeFEM installation
1

Hi,

I am trying to install the Freefem 4.9 version. However, I met some issue, saying

Installing ARPACK version 3.8.0... 
ERROR: Unable to download package ARPACK from: https://github.com/prj-/arpack-ng/archive/b64dccb.tar.gz
* If URL specified manually - perhaps there is a typo?

It seems some files have been removed from Github and can’t be downloaded now. But I need that specific version of Freefem. Is there an alternative to resolve this?

Thank you!

Why do you need that specific version? You could try changing --download-arpack in 3rdparty/ff-petsc/Makefile to --download-arpack=https://github.com/opencollab/arpack-ng/archive/refs/tags/3.9.1.tar.gz.

Or you could remove --download-arpack if it fails.
