[petsc-users] configure crash

[Dharmendar Reddy]

Hello,
         I get the Following error when i use ctetgen: (have a look at the
attached log file, i copied a snippet here). Also, metis and parametis give
error when i configure with scalar-type=complex. I was using MUMPS which
requires either parmetis or pt-scotch. I was able to cinfigure with
ptscotch. At this point, i am just seting up my code, an i do not know
which combination for direct solver will give a good result. I was hoping
to configure with the required packages and then experiment.
