[petsc-users] Save matrix view to postscript?

[Ronald M. Caplan]

Hi,

Yes, the error occurs when I use -mat_view_draw even without -draw_save.

My previous pets configuration was identical to mine but without the
--with-afterimage and the matrices showed up in xwindows.

I downloaded and installed the latest afterimage and ffmpeg.
