I have just done the compilation of FEAP 8.4 on Windows. Now I want to build this program on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04). During the compilation, I have several questions.
(1) Do I need to compile the packages like arpack blas meshmode before the compilation of FEAP? During the programming, it indicates that "archivelib.a: No such file or directory" and I find there are no archivelib.a and arpacklib.a under the arpack directory. The question is how to create "arpacklib.a"?
I see the makefile files in these directory and I want to build it using make, but it does not work though I have installed the RCS packages.
Can you give me some suggestions of how to compile the "arpacklib.a" and related library files. Can I compile the static library files like "arpacklib.a" manually?
(2) I have found that the PETSC is needed in Parfeap but there are no this directory in packages, Does it mean we have to install this package and set the routines before the compilation of Parfeap.
