I was able to compile libmesh, with the help of upstream, the preliminary packages are here: http://debian.certik.cz/ When compiled in the upstream tree by hand, it seems to work, when used from the Debian package it fails, but the problem seems to be libmesh related, not petsc/openmpi related. I also built python-petsc4py, the package is also available at the link above. You can try it: $ apt-get install python-petsc4py $ python Python 2.4.4 (#2, Aug 16 2007, 02:03:40) [GCC 4.1.3 20070812 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-15)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from petsc4py.PETSc import Mat [fuji:06162] mca: base: component_find: unable to open osc pt2pt: file not found (ignored) libibverbs: Fatal: couldn't read uverbs ABI version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [0,0,0]: OpenIB on host fuji was unable to find any HCAs. Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in lower performance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> A=Mat() >>> A.createSeqAIJ(1000) <Mat object at 0xb5ee98ec (0x82cac40)> So it seems to work, but the ugly warning/error messages seems to be openmpi related. I am going to ask on the debian openmpi mailinglist about it. Let's leave this issue open until all these errors are either resolved, or we are sure they are not petsc related.
