[petsc-users] Create Hypre ILU(0) PC Segmentation error

[Barry Smith]

   You need to learn how to use the debugger to debug this type of crash. In this case it is very simple just run the code in the debugger and when it crashes type "where" and "up" and "list" to see where it crashed. Make sure to use the debug version of the code.

     This is likely the problem since you are using totally the wrong first argument for this function.

    Note also you would use KSPGetPC() and then set the PC and not use a PCCreate()
