The new packages for PETSc 3.6.2 are all but ready, http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/petsc.git/.
The build provides some simple testing. The tests look successful when building at the command line. But for building packages I prefer to use sbuild. In the sbuild environment the tests fail. I gather it means that MPI (openMPI) cannot run in sbuild, or that I need to change something to let it run. Does anyone have experience running mpi tests in sbuild? Drew. p.s. an example of the test failure is: mpicxx -o ex19.o -c -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fPIC -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/include -I/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/x86_64-linux-gnu-debug/include -I/usr/include/suitesparse -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/superlu -I/usr/include/scotch -I/usr/lib/openmpi/include -I/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 `pwd`/ex19.c mpicxx -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--no-as-needed -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -o ex19 ex19.o -L/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/x86_64-linux-gnu-debug/lib -L/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/x86_64-linux-gnu-debug/lib -lpetsc_real -ldmumps -lzmumps -lsmumps -lcmumps -lmumps_common -lpord -lumfpack -lamd -lcholmod -lklu -L/usr/lib -lHYPRE_utilities -lHYPRE_struct_mv -lHYPRE_struct_ls -lHYPRE_sstruct_mv -lHYPRE_sstruct_ls -lHYPRE_IJ_mv -lHYPRE_parcsr_ls -lsuperlu -lscalapack-openmpi -llapack -lblas -lssl -lcrypto -lptesmumps -lptscotch -lptscotcherr -lfftw3 -lfftw3_mpi -lm -L/usr/lib/openmpi/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5 -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lmpi_f90 -lmpi_f77 -lgfortran -lm -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -lm -lmpi_cxx -lstdc++ -L/usr/lib/openmpi/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5 -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -ldl -lmpi -lhwloc -lgcc_s -lpthread -ldl /bin/rm -f ex19.o Possible error running C/C++ src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex19 with 1 MPI process See http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html [schumann:13424] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file ess_hnp_module.c at line 170 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is likely to abort.
