Ciao Dirk,

unfortunately not. I’m forwarding your mail to the mailing list. Maybe someone there has a better idea…

Just an idea: parmetis is disabled for some reason by default in candi, this can be changed by enabling:

PACKAGES="${PACKAGES} once:parmetis"

(no # in front) in the file candi.cfg

Maybe this helps.

2nd answer to Dirk as reference:

Hej Dirk,

I see now your real problem,

you should not force to download parmetis within petsc

- this is not supported in the way you do this by candi -

(it may pick another mpi-compiler and forces your problem)

Please change your petsc options in the file

  ./candi/deal.II-toolchain/packages/petsc.package

and try to do not force petsc to download parmetis

(- since this will download an unsupported version -)

Maybe you need to add some lines to pick up the installed

parmetis version via candi - I don't know this in your case

specifically, since I'm using parmetis only via trilinos

with superlu.

Hopefully that helps you.

Kind regards

  Uwe
