MatSetValues error

[ryan]

After testing with file(s) in parfeap/input, the parfeap command was successfull, but mpi submission

$PETSC_DIR/arch-linux2-c-debug/bin/mpiexec -n 2 $FEAPHOME8_5/parfeap/feap -ksp_type cg -pc_type jacobi

produced errors

I already tested mpich (mpich-3.1.3) without feap and it did well.

Any clues what went wrong? Seems something clashes in PETSc.

The error is telling you that your are trying to set a value in the matrix that is outside of its overall size.

I suggest first trying to make the input files again (and make sure you are starting with a flat file).  If that fails,
please post an as small as possible Input file and someone can test it for you.

The problem has been solved: It seems, that the use of gcc-6, gfortran-6 and g++6 is an absolute requirement. Therefore the following steps has been undertaken:

1. Installation of gcc-6, gfortran-6 and g++6
2. Modification of compiler calls in makefile.in
3. make clean, make arclean, make install for feap
4. make clean, make install for parfeap

Inexplicably lots of Linux distros use out of date compilers.  We recommend 6 and higher for the GNU compiler compilation.
