[petsc-users] PETSC ERROR: Can only handle MPIU_REAL or MPIU_COMPLEX with ML preconditioner

[Chris Richardson]

I have just run into this error after pulling the master branch of 
petsc, when using the ML preconditioner in FEniCS.
It looks like a type error, but I guess FEniCS uses PETScInt, so should 
be safe?


PETSC ERROR: Can only handle MPIU_REAL or MPIU_COMPLEX data types


Previously, it worked, so I think it might be due to a recent change?
Here is my configure script for petsc... I don't think I am doing 
anything weird.
