Trouble installing FreeFEM with full plugin support on HPC cluster

FreeFEM installation
22

Yes, what are the current values if these variables ?

23

The $FF_DIR is located properly in the ~/FreeFem-sources.
The $PATH is my path, but the $FF_INCLUDEPATH and $FF_LOADPATH$ are not defined

24

Hence explaining why you fail to run a script as simple as load "PETSc" on your own.

25

Thank you @prj!
I set a ~/.freefem++.pref file as follows:

loadpath = "~/FreeFem-sources/plugin/seq/"
loadpath += "~/FreeFem-sources/plugin/mpi/"
includepath = "~/FreeFem-sources/idp/"

and now I can load some packages, also PETSc with ff-mpirun.

Unfortunately there are some other that are still missing. I found that mshmet and ff-Ipopt and ff-Nlopt are not found. Do you have any idea why it happened?

26

You can go into each specific folder of plugins you need in 3rdparty and do make, then re-do ./reconfigure at the top and you should be good to go.

Thanks a lot @prj, now it’s working properly!
