[Trilinos-Users] PETSc interface

[Lucie Freret]

Hello Jed,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I have already configured PETSc with --download-ml and run a test with  
-pc_type ml but I'm not fully satisfied with this option.

Instead of configuring PETSc with ML, I would like to use Trilinos  
with PETSc interface. The example given in EpetraExt package deals  
with a linear system using KSPsolve with ML as a preconditioner, which  
is exactly what I'm looking for. For the time being I just want to  
compile the test example, but unfortunately I'm getting some errors  
when compiling it.

Best,
Lucie
