[Smith, Barry F.]

ex3.c has 


   ierr = PetscViewerDrawOpen(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,0,0,0,0,400,400,&monP.viewer);CHKERRQ(ierr);

so it is going to require that some Draw implementation is available. Since PETSc was apparently configure explicitly without support for x windows there is no Draw support hence the code has to stop with an error message. In other words this example requires X
