It looks like the SNESView() you have below was called before you ever did a solve, hence it prints the message "information may be incomplete". Note also zero function evaluations have been done in the SNESSolve, if the solve had been called it should be great than 0.<br>
<span><br>
SNES Object: 1 MPI processes<br>
type: newtonls<br>
SNES has not been set up so information may be incomplete<br>
<br>
</span>This is also why it prints<br>
<span><br>
The compute h routine has not yet been set<br>
<br>
</span>The information about the h routine won't be printed until after an actual solve is done and the "compute h" function is set.<br>

Note you can call MatMFFDSetType() to control the "compute h" function that is used.<br>

> "doesn't work" is not useful to help us figure out what has gone wrong. You need to show us EXACTLY what you did by sending the code you compiled and the command line options you ran and all the output include full error messages. Without the information we simply do not have enough information to even begin to guess why it "doesn't work".<br>
