Thanks for your prompt reply. Using & solve this problem, but then I have
another problem.

*Rest of the Code:*
    Mat m_WA_nt_local;
    MatCreateSeqAIJ(PETSC_COMM_SELF,num_points,num_points, pre_init_size,
NULL, &m_WA_nt_local);
    PetscPrintf(PETSC_COMM_SELF, "[CS][pCalc_P] rank:%d, num_points:%d,
p_init:%d\n", rank, num_points, pre_init_size);

    IS set;
    if(rank ==0){
        // - - - - - create local matrix - - - - -
        PetscPrintf(PETSC_COMM_SELF, "[CS][pCalc_P] rank:%d,
num_points:%d\n", rank, num_points);
        ISCreateStride(PETSC_COMM_SELF, num_points, 0, 1, &set);
        ISView(set, PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_SELF);
        MatGetSubMatrices(m_WA_norm_T, 1, &set, &set, MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX,
&m_WA_nt_local);
    }else{
        MatGetSubMatrices(m_WA_norm_T, 0, &set, &set, MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX,
&m_WA_nt_local);
    }

*Error in compile:*
