partition: parfeap + parmetis linking error

[pjarz]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile partition program of parfeap (with command "make partition"), but I get some strange errors (one of them):

petsc/gnu-opt/lib/libparmetis.a(selectq.c.o): In function `libparmetis__Mc_DynamicSelectQueue':
selectq.c:(.text+0x182): undefined reference to `gk_mcorePush'
selectq.c:(.text+0x237): undefined reference to `libmetis__rkvsorti'
selectq.c:(.text+0x247): undefined reference to `libmetis__iset'
selectq.c:(.text+0x2d8): undefined reference to `gk_mcorePop'
selectq.c:(.text+0x615): undefined reference to `libmetis__rkvsorti'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: [partition] Error 1 (ignored)

 
there is much more, but all look pretty similar. I'm guessing it's something with linking parmetis with partition program. I'm feeling it's something obvious, but I can't figure out what that is. I'm using feap 8.3 and petsc 3.3 (configured with options --download-metis --download-parmetis).

Any suggestions?

looks like your PETSc environment variables are not correctly set: PETSC_DIR and PESTC_ARCH

Hi,

I think it's something different, because I used Parfeap with regular METIS and it worked fine. I solved also some simple problems using different solvers and preconditioners from PETSc via Parfeap and this also worked fine.

I got it working.

Help came from METIS forum:

It apears that it was problem in METIS 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 - that is used by PETSc 3.3. I used PETSc 3.4.3 which uses Metis 5.0.2 and the problem was solved.
