what should i do? (the ‘:’ after http is deleted because new users can only put 2 links in a post)

This kind of error is due to non accesible PETSc download page, and the backup server was not up-to-date, I just upgrade it.

Does it works now ?

Yes, it works, thanks a lot!

But another problem occurs: when I run the examples in hpddm, it cannot load metis module, just like

load error : metis
fail :
dlerror : …/…/plugin/seq/metis.so: undefined symbol: METIS_PartMeshNodal
list prefix: ‘…/…/plugin/mpi/’ ‘’ ‘…/…/plugin/seq/’ list suffix : ‘’ , ‘.so’

some details:

after reconfigure, it shows:
configure: – without libs:
configure: – without plugin:
configure: progs: FreeFem+±nw bamg cvmsh2 FreeFem+±mpi ffmedit ffglut

and other modules list in Document is installed.
