Hi, Thanks for your help. I gave up trying to make Trilinos work with my macports installation and ended up installing everything with homebrew, following the guide on the wiki (there are a few hicups along the way because some things don't work right away in Mountain Lion, but nothing critical). I've noticed something with this new installation. When I ran the diffusion.circle example using my previous installation the FiPy opened a matplotlib viewer, and now with the homebrew based installation it opens a Mayavi viewer. Is this normal? how does FiPy determine which kind of viewer to use? One problem I have with the Mayavi viewer is that it doesn't seem to work when running scripts with mpi (it seems to crash or give a time out and I get a "Viewer not ready" message), this doesn't happen with the matplotlib viewer (for example, if I run the diffusion.mesh20x20 example).
