[petsc-users] Issue about using MUMPS with PETSc

[Gavin Ge]

Hi:

I just have my PETSc updated from 3.1 to 3.4, then find problem with using MUMPs. I have no problem before in 3.1 and also no problem with builtin iterative solvers for current version. I got the following error message:

(0): ERROR: stratParserParse: invalid method parameter name "type", before "h,rat=0.7,vert=100,low=h{pass=10},asc=b{width=3,bnd=f{bal=0.2},org=(|h{pass=10})f{bal=0.2}}}|m{type=h,rat=0.7,vert=100,low=h{pass=10},asc=b{width=3,bnd=f{bal=0.2},org=(|h{pass=10})f{bal=0.2}}};,ole=f{cmin=0,cmax=100000,frat=0.0},ose=g},unc=n{sep=/(vert>120)?m{type=h,rat=0.7,vert=100,low=h{pass=10},asc=b{width=3,bnd=f{bal=0.2},org=(|h{pass=10})f{bal=0.2}}}|m{type=h,rat=0.7,vert=100,low=h{pass=10},asc=b{width=3,bnd=f{bal=0.2},org=(|h{pass=10})f{bal=0.2}}};,ole=f{cmin=15,cmax=100000,frat=0.0},ose=g}}"
