[petsc-users] Using MUMPS and (PT)SCOTCH with PETSC

[Evan Um]

Dear PETSC users,

I tried to use SCOTCH 5.1.12b in my PETSC codes since MUMPS has
compatibility issues with the latest SCOTCH library.
I was told that SCOTCH/6.0.0 that comes with PETSC/3.5.0 is automatically
downloaded and installed. Is it still possible to use old SCOTCH library
5.1.2b in PETSC? As mentioned in MUMPS's FAQ, MUMPS has compatibility
issues with the latest SCOTCH. MUMPS developers suggest that MUMPS should
work with SCOTCH 5.1.12b. In advance, thanks for your kind comments.

Regards,
Evan
