Searching for the terms from the error message didn’t help. </div><div><br></div><div>I finally went to the Hypre website and searched for the terms, and found the answer there. It was related to LAPACK not being linked, which Hypre uses. </div><div><br></div><div>For those of us who are not code developers, it can be a bit overwhelming. I haven’t compiled code since the 1980’s until last week.

Then I made a test file that calls iso_c_binding.mod to check for its existence in the FLASH4.8 dir, which did end up working, so I knew it was somewhere. Then I searched for it in Finder, and I realized its a blank file that gets created every time I compile, inside /FLASH4.8/object. So apparently the error arises when it tries to interpret literally nothing. How do I fix this?
