Well the parmetis tarball [used by petsc] appears to have quiet a few custom patches. Matt would have to go through some of that stuff to see if they need to be migrated to ParMetis-3.1.0 or not. Also - at some point I redid the parmetis build makefiles to make it easy for petsc configure to build parmetis. We have to go throught that part aswell [and see if its still necessary] before we can migrate --download-parmetis to this new version. So - lot of patches to check. [so I punted it earler when I visited this issue]. Satish
