Hi, I’m trying to use the CalculiX adapter with preCICE 3.0.0. I am following the installation instructions and I have done the following: - put CalculiX in the home directory so that I have `~/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/src` - retrieved the adapter `wget https://github.com/precice/calculix-adapter/archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz` (it looks to me that the deb files looks for libprecice2…) - updated the Makefile CFLAGS with `-fallow-argument-mismatch` Nevertheless I get the following compilation error: ``` mpifort -Wall -O3 -fopenmp -I./ -I./adapter -I/home/claudio/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/src -I/usr/include/spooles/ -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/ -c /home/claudio/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/src/cubtri.f -o bin/cubtri.o /home/claudio/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/src/cubtri.f:134:18: 134 | CALL CUBRUL(F, VEC, W(1,1), IDATA, RDATA) | 1 Error: Interface mismatch in dummy procedure ‘f’ at (1): 'f' is not a function /home/claudio/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/src/cubtri.f:173:20: 173 | CALL CUBRUL(F, VEC, W(1,J), IDATA, RDATA) | 1 Error: Interface mismatch in dummy procedure ‘f’ at (1): 'f' is not a function make: *** [Makefile:96: bin/cubtri.o] Error 1 ``` Am I missing something? Thank you Claudio ---

Hi @Claudio Good catch that the deb files still look for libprecice2. I have made a change in the packaging recipe on a separate branch: [GitHub - precice/calculix-adapter at use-libprecice3](https://github.com/precice/calculix-adapter/tree/use-libprecice3) Can you please try out this branch in a fresh procedure? I have not seen the error before, so let us go step by step and figure it out. ---

Hi @IshaanDesai , I cannot reach the link you gave. I have tried with this tag [calculix adapter v2.20.1](https://github.com/precice/calculix-adapter/releases/tag/v2.20.1) with a newly extracted CalculiX (version 2.20) source code, but I get the same error. I am using system libraries for spooles , arpack and yaml. Can you please check the link above? I might have missed something. Thank you Claudio ---

Hi @Claudio Sorry, the link was to a branch which was deleted. We have now added updates debian packages to the latest releases: [Release v2.20.1 · precice/calculix-adapter · GitHub](https://github.com/precice/calculix-adapter/releases/tag/v2.20.1) Can you please try to install once more? ---

Hi @IshaanDesai Thanks for the update. I have installed the .deb file that you linked and everything looks good. ccx\_preCICE is found and no issues with preCICE v3 have appeared. Unfortunately I haven’t had the time to run the simulation I was planning, but I think this solves the installation problem. claudio ---
