still Schur complement

I'm not completelly sure what are you actually trying to do. It seems
you know how to actually compute the local Schur complement in a
entry-by-entry basis. In that case, your way is semms to be OK.

However, you get a error because of a inner implementation detail of
MATIS.  Do de following: set the local-to-global mapping AFTER setting
the matrix type. This way, your code should now work.

The other way, is to create the matrix by calling MatCreateIS(), look
at the source code of this function, and you will basically see the
same steps you are using in your example for setting-up the matrix,
however the call to MatSetLocalToGlobalMapping() appears at the very
end.
