Hello,

I am in the situation where on my universities cluster, there is freefem version 4.9 installed.  
The only problem is that the shared library files, like lapack.so for example, are missing.

Is there a place where i can download them?  
I only found the files for version 4.6 [here](https://doc.freefem.org/introduction/download.html) , which are not compatible
