But it breaks... As I wrote above, I can fix it, but then re-running configure rebuilds my built version. Then I tried --with instead of --download, that resulted in a correct build, unfortunately, seems like parmetis is somehow not registered with petsc: [0]PETSC ERROR: Unknown partitioning type parmetis! Would you please advise how to go on? Thanks Dominik
