[petsc-dev] [petsc-users] Error during PETSc build on Edison

[Satish Balay]

The example has the following documentation:

/* ------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*
   Monitor - Optional user-defined monitoring routine that views the
   current iterate with an x-window plot. Set by SNESMonitorSet().

   Input Parameters:
   snes - the SNES context
   its - iteration number
   norm - 2-norm function value (may be estimated)
   ctx - optional user-defined context for private data for the
         monitor routine, as set by SNESMonitorSet()

   Note:
   See the manpage for PetscViewerDrawOpen() for useful runtime options,
   such as -nox to deactivate all x-window output.
