[petsc-dev] parmetis broken (with 64 bit indices)?

[Barry Smith]

  From ParMetis.py 

  def configureLibrary(self):
    PETSc.package.NewPackage.configureLibrary(self)
    #  PETSc can use ParMetis directly if built with 32 bit indices; ParMetis cannot work with 64 bit indices
    #  so we turn off useddirectly, but it can still be used by SuperLU_Dist
    if self.libraryOptions.integerSize == 64:
      self.useddirectly = 0

  In other words someone, I think his name is Sean, needs to update petsc-dev to use the latest ParMetis with support for 64 bit indices.

   Yes, ParMetis only started supporting 64 bit indices like a month ago.

I've deleted and reconfigured/built everything and ParMetis seems to get configured properly, but its not there and I've found that PETSC_HAVE_PARMETIS is not defined in partition.c.  I recently moved to 64 bit indices, could that be a problem?
