Dear deal.II community, I am new to deal.II and I had posted a question about this same issue yesterday. Perhaps I did not ask it correctly. I have been trying to simulate the wave equation on a particular kind of surface (I have attached a picture of that surface and the mesh). I created the mesh for that surface using gmsh. I was able to simulate the wave equation from step-23 on that surface and I am currently working to change the initial excitation, density, and tension. I also want to get the eigenfrequencies for this surface and as a start, I just wanted to learn how deal.II solves eigenspectrum using PETSc and SlEPc from step-36. But, when I try to run that tutorial as is it shows the error I have posted below. I thought the problem was not having the PETSc and SlEPc libraries so I went ahead and installed them but that still does not resolve the issue. Please let me know if you have run into this issue before and what you did to solve it. Thank you!
