Hi, I am running Pop OS on Linux 22.04 and I installed FreeFem++ with ```auto sudo apt-get install freefem++ ``` and then tried to run the official cantilever beam example from [here](https://doc.freefem.org/models/elasticity.html). However, some dependencies are not found because I get an error ```nohighlight Load: lg_fem lg_mesh lg_mesh3 eigenvalue 1 : include "cube.idp" Error opening file cube.idp in: -- try :"cube.idp" ``` Is there anything else I should do? ---

I think this related to setting the `freefrem++.pref` file - check the documentation for more info. ---

The file cube.idp is in directory ff-4.11/lib/ff++/4.11/
