The current deal.II build works for metis-4.x. Things changed for metis in
5.0; the corresponding changes should be made to the deal.II configure to
take those changes into account. For now, it may be easier to run with
metis 4.

(Is that an issue for the deal.II workshop code jam?)

Yes, I think we should. I assume you are coming? If so, please put it on your list. Maybe Baerbel can also put it on her list?

In general, I think METIS isn't on anyone's "most important" list any more since we have the massively parallel framework that builds on p4est and doesn't need METIS. We should of course continue to support METIS nevertheless. I suppose it would be ok if we drop support for 4.0 and only support 5.x. Alexander, I don't know how familiar you are with autoconf but if you'd like to play, do you want to give it a try to modify aclocal.m4 so that the paths for METIS all fit those for 5.0? We'd certainly be happy to accept patches that go in this direction (even if they're not completely finished yet). I'm sure you know that I'll be on visit at the GFZ on Tuesday, so if you want to chat about specifics!

Best
 Wolfgang
