Compile SuperLU in Mac OS

0 votes

Hi there,

I installed FEniCS on a Mac with Anaconda, but seems like there is no Super LU solver by default. I can conda install SuperLU pkgs but is there any way that we can compile that with FEniCS and get it running in the program?

I guess this also applies for other pkgs such as MUMPS etc.

p.s. I have gcc on the machine.

I guess you mean that you want PETSc to be built with SuperLU (or rather SuperLU_DIST?) in conda. In that case you should register an issue here. There is already an issue registered for building PETSc with MUMPS here.

thanks johannr! i installed my fenics using conda a few days ago, but the petsc solver in the fenics was not built with mumps or superlu. but i did see that there is conda-forge version of these packages available now.

so is there a way that I can configure my petsc so that i can include them?
