I agree, but updates were made for Hardy, and Johannes ported this to Gutsy, and it worked. For know, dolfin (Debian package) does not depend on petsc-dev. petsc-dev depends on libsuitesparse (umfpack).
Anyway, the solution discussed earlier seems to solve our problems. ilmar _______________________________________________ DOLFIN-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.fenics.org/mailman/listinfo/dolfin-dev
