Dear Maintainer,
freefem++ fails to build from source when libscotchparmetis-dev is installed.
It fails with:
parmetis.cpp:31:10: fatal error: parmetis.h: No such file or directory
31 | #include <parmetis.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
Iattach a build log.
The easiest solution is to add a Build-Conflicts against libscotchparmetis-dev.
Cheers,
Adding a conflict will workaround the issue, but I see this as a bug in the freefem++ configuration scripts. They're detecting the availability of parmetis (via scotch emulation in this case) but they are not at the same time setting up the corresponding include path to parmetis.h.
