Re: [Getfem-users] Issues regarding installation of GetFEM++

[Nicolò Cambiaso]

Thank you very much,

at the end the solution was downloading the file "libwinpthread-1.dll", 64bit version.

Don't ask me why, I have no idea.

We tried with another laptot, and there the error message was regarding the missing of this file, and once we downloaded it, everything started to work fine.

So I tried it to.

Again thank you for your time,

Have a nice day

Dear Nicolò,

I understand your situation. I want to help you resolve the issue, but
unfortunately, I cannot find a quick remedy right now.

To share the information, I recommend putting the address of the
mailing list "getfem-users <at> nongnu.org" in Cc. This is also
recommended when we send e-mails on other topics listed in the mailing
list.

I hope that we find a solution.

Best regards,
Alex Spring
