Dear Developers and Users,

Firstly, thank you for this piece of software! I have been using the Debian
package for a month now,
and have been impressed with its capabilities. However, since I need to
enable VTK and SLEPc, I have
been trying to compile libmesh from sources. I need SLEPc since I am trying
to solve aome quantum physics
problems. This is resulting in errors which I list below.

Some details regarding my configuration ( the computer is a Pentium D
system)
(a) gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 for compilation.
(b) mpich 1.2.7 installed from debian repo.
(c) Compiled Petsc-2.3.3-p13 from source with the following config :
      config/configure.py --with-cc=gcc --with-cxx=g++ --with-fc=g77
--with-mpi-dir=/usr/lib/mpich/
    --with-debugging=1 --with-shared
(d)Compiled  Slepc-2.3.3(including latest patches) from source.
(e)Libmesh config :  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libmesh --enable-slepc
--enable-vtk --with-vtk-include=/usr/include/vtk-5.0

=============================================================================================================
With libmesh-0.6.2, this results in the following error :

Compiling C++ (in debug mode) src/numerics/slepc_eigen_solver.C...

If I disable slepc, I am able to compile the libmesh library. However, I get
the following error when I run the example (say ex3)
$./ex3-dbg
0 - <NO ERROR MESSAGE> : Could not convert index -1246757120 into a pointer
The index may be an incorrect argument.
Possible sources of this problem are a missing "include 'mpif.h'",
a misspelled MPI object (e.g., MPI_COM_WORLD instead of MPI_COMM_WORLD)
or a misspelled user variable for an MPI object (e.g.,
com instead of comm).

===========================================================================================================

With libmesh from svn (release 2924), I get the follwoing errors

Compiling C++ (in debug mode) src/solvers/equation_systems.C...
src/solvers/equation_systems.C: In member function 'void
EquationSystems::reinit()':
src/solvers/equation_systems.C:134: error: 'n_sys' was not declared in this
scope
src/solvers/equation_systems.C:141: error: 'n_sys' was not declared in this
scope
make: *** [src/solvers/equation_systems.i686-pc-linux-gnu.dbg.o] Error 1

In fact, the above error with r 2924 is reported even when I disable slepc.

Looking at the archives of libmesh-devel and libmesh-users, I understand
that there are issues regarding imcompatibilities arising between
petsc minor releases. This could possibly explain why libmesh-0.6.2
generates errors against petsc-2.3.3-13; however, I thought that the latest
svn code of libmesh would compile against the latest petsc and slepc
versions.

Any ideas as to how I can resolve these issues? Also, please let me know
which version of Petsc / Slepc works successfully against libmesh-0.6.2 and
the latest svn version.

Look forward to your replies.

Thanking you
