If you want to use ILUT you can use --download-hypre then run with -pc_type boomeramg -pc_hypre_type pilut<br>

See <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-dev/docs/manualpages/PC/PCHYPRE.html" target="_blank">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-dev/docs/manualpages/PC/PCHYPRE.html</a> for more details and run the PETSc program with the above options and -help to see the various pilut options.<br>
