No problem. Your software helps me too, so as soon as you have fixes
and new builds please tell me, so that I can try again.

OK. For this specific problem, though, you do not
need Scotch. The involved lines are just below :
#define SCOTCH_PTHREAD
int
main (
int argc,
char * argv[])
{
...
#ifdef SCOTCH_PTHREAD
int thrdlvlreqval;
int thrdlvlproval;
#endif /* SCOTCH_PTHREAD */
#ifdef SCOTCH_PTHREAD
thrdlvlreqval = MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE;
if (MPI_Init_thread (&argc, &argv, thrdlvlreqval, &thrdlvlproval) !=
MPI_SUCCESS)
errorPrint ("main: Cannot initialize (1)");
if (thrdlvlreqval > thrdlvlproval)
errorPrint ("main: MPI implementation is not thread-safe: recompile without
SCOTCH_PTHREAD");
#else /* SCOTCH_PTHREAD */
if (MPI_Init (&argc, &argv) != MPI_SUCCESS)
errorPrint ("main: Cannot initialize (2)");
#endif /* SCOTCH_PTHREAD */
...and the line I used to run it was in my previous post.
I don't see the problem in my coding. What did I do wrong ?
If you want a Scotch tarball to play with, tell me : the
release on the forge is currenlty a 5.1.2, and I am close
to releasing a 5.1.3 (I will fix my double-Isend bug before,
see below), so I can provide you with a 5.1.3beta along
with my test data.

Agreed. I will rewrite my piece of code accordingly. I told
you there might be bugs in my code. ;-)
Best regards,
