It seems as if I can't use MUMPS since the cluster I am working on 
doesn't meet some system requirements.  (PETSc otherwise works fine on 
the cluster.)  However, I understand that PETSc also interfaces a 
large number of other sparse direct solvers.  Are there any 
recommendations about which one might be a good choice if MUMPS cannot 
be used?

Best Regards,

Tim
