Package: libfreefem++ Version: 4.11+dfsg1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The conffile /etc/freefem++.pref contains the following lines loadpath += "/usr/lib/ff++/4.9/lib" includepath += "/usr/lib/ff++/4.9/idp" which do not match where files are actually installed. This leads to errors like: nordmark@deedee:~$ FreeFem++ /usr/share/doc/freefem++/examples/3d/beam-3d.edp -- FreeFem++ v4.9 ( - git no git) Load: lg_fem lg_mesh lg_mesh3 eigenvalue 1 : load "medit" Load error: medit fail: dlerror : /usr/lib/ff++/4.9/lib/medit.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory list prefix: './' '/usr/lib/ff++/4.9/lib/' list suffix: '' , '.so' current line = 1 Load error : medit line number :1, medit error Load error : medit line number :1, medit code = 2 mpirank: 0 The lines should probably be loadpath += "/usr/lib/freefem++" includepath += "/usr/include/freefem++/idp" instead. With the changed conffile below, the example seems to work OK.
