I am using libprecice2_2.3.0 and 9.3.2 version of deal.ii
i downloaded the deal.ii from official web page of deal.ii and directly download dealii-9.3.2.tar.gz
and follow the instructions after unzip;
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/dir …/deal.II
make

and i follow the instructions from Get the deal.II adapter | preCICE - The Coupling Library to get adapter

there is a same issue asked before;

deal.II-preCICIE adapter [cMake can not find a configuration file for package "precice"]

Dear ALL, Happy new year, I am new at dealing with deal.II, precice and in general with linux, thus I apologize in advance if my question is very basic but I cannnot install the deal.II-preCICE adapter. I followed the directions provided here: Get the deal.II adapter | preCICE - The Coupling Library, in the section “Build the adapter” I used the following command: git clone GitHub - precice/dealii-adapter: A coupled structural solver written with the C++ finite element library deal.II && cd…

I had a similar problem with deal 9.3. The installation was successful with deal 9.2.0

Hi @ceoo,

how did you install deal.II itself. Did you download binary files for your OS or just the source files? In case you downloaded the source files, you need to compile deal.II before compiling the adapter. Although @Rob_T had some issue with the most recent release, I’m pretty sure the adapter works with it (I’m successfully working with the recent development version of deal.II as well). IIRC the compiler requirements or something similar was increased after deal.II version 9.2, so that this might be a problem @Rob_T solved by going one version back.
