Found several problems with the current PKGBUILD: 1. URL seemed outdated and refer to another page 2. the http download leads to a connection error, at least for me. 3. Checksum mismatch on phreeqc.el

Please see the suggested patch attached.

The new PKGBUILD here (if I got markdown syntax right):

Thank you for the package! Unfortunately, with the version bump to 3.7.3 you removed folding.el from the sources list, but forget to remove the file from the install function, causing the installation process to fail. Maybe you can fix this.

EDIT: Thank you very much for fixing it quickly!

dtbaumann commented on 2021-07-05 16:03 (UTC)

There are significant changes to the databases supplied with phreeqc, which make phreeqc 3.7.0 behave differently to 3.6.2 for carbonate systems. It might be advisable to do cross-checks.

That would be great! Thanks a lot for the effort. For me, personally, w/o openmpi.

dtbaumann commented on 2017-09-18 15:31 (UTC)

I'll look into it, w/ or w/o openmpi?

Thanks for the package. Do you think, you could also create/maintain a package for USGS's PHAST? See: https://wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/projects/GWC_coupled/phast/
