Thank you but I am still confused, I still get the same error message
when calling KSPDestroy(). My code looks something like this:
ierr = MatShift(M,-E);
ierr = KSPCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&ksp);
ierr = KSPSetOperators(ksp,M,M);
ierr = KSPSetType(ksp,KSPPREONLY);
ierr = KSPGetPC(ksp,&pc);
ierr = PCSetType(pc,PCCHOLESKY);
ierr = KSPSetUp(ksp);
ierr = PCFactorGetMatrix(pc,&B);
ierr = MatGetInertia(B,&nneg,&nzero,&npos);
ierr = PetscPrintf(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,"nneg: %D nzero: %D npos: %D
\n",nneg,nzero,npos);
ierr = MatDestroy(&B);
ierr = MatDestroy(&M);
ierr = KSPDestroy(&ksp);
where I've defined the matrix M beforehand. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Best regards,
