Is there a way that I can find out if my installation is using superlu ?
Does it work to install SuperLU and then reinstall petsc (so that petsc automatically detects SuperLU when reinstalling)?
I am trying specifically to run the TAO/toy example (called "maros.c" in newer versions). The example can be found here
@exocortex:
superLU is an optional dependency, but it need to be present at build time. If you install superLU firt, PETSc should find it during build.
That makes building in a clean CHROOT a little bit more difficult, so I normally build on my system.
When trying out the example from here (and putting the HS21 directory next to my main) I got this error:
[0]PETSC ERROR: Could not locate solver type superlu for factorization type LU and matrix type mpiaij. Perhaps you must ./configure with --download-superlu
Is there a way I can change my installation so that it does download this stuff. (if that is indeed the cause of this error).
@MartinDiehl thank you! This was the first time I used pacman to downgrade something and it worked quite well :-)
@exocortex: This is a bug in SuiteSparse 7.3.0 (https://github.com/DrTimothyAldenDavis/SuiteSparse/issues/478). You either have to downgrade or uninstall it for the moment. Hopefully, SuiteSparse 7.3.1 is out soon.
installing petsc fails for me. I couldn't run a python script (simple tutorial) after I upgraded my computer because of some problem with libcholmod. I tried reinstalling petsc (and slepc) but now also during installation of petsc there's an error (this time in a file aijcholmod. My terminal output with the error is here:

When building PETSc (more specifically, petsc4py), one test (ex100 from ksp) will fail if a previous (major) version is installed. I could not figure out why this happens. The solution would be to build in a clean root (which is a little bit complicated due to dependency on other AUR packages) or simply uninstall the old version before.
Any help to solve this issue is welcomed.
