hi, dear petsc developers,<br>
<br>
I am having a problem when using the external solver elemental.<br>
I installed petsc3.10.5 version with the flag
--download-elemental-commit=v0.87.7 <br>
the installation seems to be ok. However, it seems that i may not be
able<br>
to use the elemental solver though. <br>
<br>
I followed this page
<a class="gmail-m_-7259810298401158576moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Mat/MATELEMENTAL.html" target="_blank">https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Mat/MATELEMENTAL.html</a><br>
to interface the elemental solver, namely, <br>
MatSetType(A,MATELEMENTAL); <br>
or set it via the command line '<b>-mat_type elemental</b>',<br>
<br>
in either case, i will get the following error,<br>
<br>

<br>
May i ask whether there will be a way or some specific petsc
versions that are able to use the elemental solver?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
best,<br>
