[petsc-users] How to install the external packages?

'make test' runs ok. But I cannot compile my own code. The problems I guess 
are the conflict of libmetis and libparmetis. The error messages while 
compiling my own code:

Undefined symbols:
  "_METIS_mCPartGraphRecursive2", referenced from:
      _ParMETIS_V3_PartKway in libparmetis.a(kmetis.o)
      _PartitionSmallGraph__ in libparmetis.a(weird.o)
      _Moc_InitPartition_RB__ in libparmetis.a(initpart.o)
      _Moc_InitPartition_RB__ in libparmetis.a(initpart.o)
      _Balance_Partition__ in libparmetis.a(initbalance.o)
      _Balance_Partition__ in libparmetis.a(initbalance.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found

BTW, which example can I use to test the command line option "-mat_type 
superlu_dist -pc_type lu -ksp_type preonly"?

Bests,
Hui
