about MPI_Comm_size(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&size)

[Chris Harden]

Hello,

I think VC is ok for editing (maybe), but PETSc and mpich are easier  
to work with in the command line. You might save yourself some  
headache. Just paste your file into a plain text.cpp and put it in a  
directory such as your desktop. Then cd to your desktop and compile  
from the command line. I promise your life will be simpler in the  
long term.

best,

Chris
