[Trilinos-Users] question about using ParMETIS with Trilinos

[Alicia M Klinvex]

Hello,

I'm having a bit of trouble, and I was hoping you could help me.  I want to solve a generalized eigenvalue problem using block Krylov-Schur, which requires a linear solver in Amesos.  I would like to use a distributed memory solver such as Amesos_Superludist or Amesos_Mumps, both of which depend on ParMETIS.  I installed and tested ParMETIS, which has been working fine on its own.  In my configure script, I turned on ParMETIS and set the paths, and when I run the script, Trilinos seems to find everything necessary:

TRIBITS_TPL_DECLARE_LIBRARIES: ParMETIS
-- PARSE_REQUIRED_HEADERS='parmetis.h'
-- PARSE_REQUIRED_LIBS_NAMES='parmetis;metis'
-- TPL_ParMETIS_INCLUDE_DIRS=''
-- TPL_ParMETIS_LIBRARIES=''
-- ParMETIS_LIBRARY_DIRS='/u/slotnick_s2/aklinvex/ParMetis-3.0'
-- ParMETIS_LIBRARY_NAMES='libmetis.a; libparmetis.a'
-- PARSE_REQUIRED_LIBS_NAMES='libmetis.a; libparmetis.a'
-- ParMETIS_LIBRARY_DIRS='/u/slotnick_s2/aklinvex/ParMetis-3.0'
-- ParMETIS_INCLUDE_DIRS='/u/slotnick_s2/aklinvex/ParMetis-3.0'
-- PARSE_REQUIRED_HEADERS='parmetis.h'
-- LIBNAME_SET='libmetis.a'
-- _ParMETIS_libmetis.a_LIBRARY='/u/slotnick_s2/aklinvex/ParMetis-3.0/libmetis.a'
-- LIBNAME_SET=' libparmetis.a'
-- _ParMETIS_libparmetis.a_LIBRARY='/u/slotnick_s2/aklinvex/ParMetis-3.0/libparmetis.a'
-- INCLUDE_FILE='parmetis.h'
-- _ParMETIS_parmetis.h_PATH='/u/slotnick_s2/aklinvex/ParMetis-3.0'
-- TPL_ParMETIS_LIBRARY_DIRS=''

However, when I type "make", I get many errors of the following form:

[ 60%] Built target ThyraEpetraExtAdapters_EpetraExtDiagScalingTransformer_UnitTests

initmsection.c:(.text+0xc3c): undefined reference to `METIS_NodeComputeSeparator'

Trilinos seems to forget where METIS is.  I have tried it with ParMETIS 3.0 and 4.0.2, both of which behave the same way.  Do you know what could be causing this problem?

Thank you,
