Are you building on top of libMesh alone, or on top of middleware that requires a very recent libMesh git version?
If the former, I'd suggest trying the libMesh 1.5.1 release, which doesn't include the refactoring that's breaking on your system. If the latter, you might try an out-of-source build? # e.g.: mkdir my_build_dir cd my_build_dir ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-petsc PETSC_DIR="$petsc_dir" I do think I see what's breaking, except that if I'm right I can't believe nobody else triggered such an embarrassing bug yet. If I can replicate the problem I'll fix it ASAP; if not then I'd appreciate your help later verifying whether or not a potential fix works.
