Bug Description
This is a branch that somehow popped up during the discussion of the bug at
https:/
It is really crucial for performance and usability of FEniCS to be able to use state-of-the-art linear algebra tools.
So far it says that PETSc is compiled without multigrid support.
It seems that on Mac OS X dorsal installs "petsccore" vs on linux it is fully functional "petsc".
Trilinos is not installed as well but is not installed on linux either. I am not sure which functionality it provides.

A simple solution to this problem is to install the prebuilt gfortran binaries located at
http:// gcc.gnu. org/wiki/ GFortranBinarie s#MacOS
This will install gfortran into /usr/local/gfortran with a symlink /usr/local/ bin/gfortran to the gfortran binary. One can then replace "petsccore" with "petsc" in the platform file for Snow Leopard to get PETSc with all the goodies (Hypre, MUMPS, etc.).
I also have a patch for building Trilinos on Mac (if anyone is interested), but I get errors when running DOLFIN with this.
