Zero Pivot Row in LU Factorization

[Tim Stitt]

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest ways of overcoming the following pivot error I keep 
receiving in my PETSc code during a KSPSolve().

[1]PETSC ERROR: Detected zero pivot in LU factorization
see 
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/documentation/troubleshooting.html#ZeroPivot!
[1]PETSC ERROR: Zero pivot row 1801 value 0.00102826 tolerance 
0.00165189 * rowsum 1.65189e+09!

 From checking the documentation....the error is in row 1801, which 
means it is most likely not a matrix assembly issue?

I tried the following prior to the solve with no luck either.....

call KSPGetPC(ksp,pc,error)
call PCFactorSetShiftNonzero(pc,PETSC_DECIDE,error)

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks,

Tim.
