SIGSERV in MPI_Comm_rank

[Aron Ahmadia]

Hi Adolph,

What are the results of running make test after you've completed PETSc
installation?  Do those tests pass?  If so, you should try copying over an
example makefile and using that to build your code.  If they fail, something
is wrong with your PETSc installation and you should send a copy of your
configure.log to petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov for more help.

A SIGSEGV is a segmentation violation, usually caused by your program
attempting to access a zero'd memory location.  You can run it through the
debugger to get a better feel for what's not being initialized, but I think
in this case it wouldn't be too helpful.
