PaStiXLUSolver segfaults

Asked by Jan Blechta on 2013-02-22

Here's source:
________________________________________________
from dolfin import *

mesh = UnitSquareMesh(2, 2)
V = FunctionSpace(mesh, 'CG', 1)

u = TrialFunction(V)
v = TestFunction(V)
a = inner(grad(u), grad(v))*dx + u*v*dx
L = Constant(1)*v*dx

A = STLMatrix(1)
A = assemble(a, tensor=A)
b = assemble(L)

u = Function(V)
s = PaStiXLUSolver(A)
s.solve(u.vector(), b)

Changing u_int64_t to uint64_t in pastix.h and recompiling dolfin does not help.

I'm afraid you're on your own here. PaStiX is very difficult to
configure and will seg fault if not configured right.

Do you mean configuring PaStiX itself or with dolfin? So is it worth
running some tests supplied with PaStiX?

Mainly PaStiX. You need to get MPI, SCOTCH and PaStiX and any other
PaStiX dependencies configured just right.

When testing, you can turn on the matrix check in PaStiXLUSolver.cpp
to check that your input matrix is ok.

Thanks, Garth. I will try it.
