1) I do not yet understand this error. It is saying that the source file:

  /home/mefpp_ericc/petsc-3.1-p8/linux-gnu-c-opt/bin/ompi-checkpoint

does not exist. This is very strange since os.listdir() just told us that
said file
exists. Does this file actually exist? With correct permissions?

2) How did OpenMPI get into your PETSc build? Didn't you install it yourself
somewhere else? Did you

  rm -rf $PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH

before you rebuilt?

   Thanks,

      Matt

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments
is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments
lead.
