[petsc-users] fieldsplit error

Hi,
I figured out that block size was missing. However I am not quite sure what the block size means.

Add
-pc_fieldsplit_block_size 2

See example
petsc/src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex19.c:
./ex19 -snes_monitor_short -ksp_monitor_short -pc_type fieldsplit
-pc_fieldsplit_block_size 2 -pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0,1
-pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 0,1 -pc_fieldsplit_type multiplicative -snes_view
-fieldsplit_pc_type lu -da_refine 1 -ksp_type fgmres

(see runex19_8 in petsc/src/snes/examples/tutorials/makefile)
