[Dune] Static SuperLU_DIST library and dune-istl

[Sascha Zelzer]

Hi,

I am using the dune core modules (the release-2.1 branch) and try to 
configure dune-istl with SuperLU_DIST support.

I have successfully built SuperLU_DIST version 3.0, with Metis and 
ParMetis support, which generated a static libsuperlu-mpi.a library. 
Configuring dune-istl with "--with-metis=... --with-parmetis=... 
--with-superlu-dist=<path-to-libsuperlu-mpi.a>" starts the configure 
test "checking for pdgssvx in -lsuperlu-mpi" which fails with:

configure:31498: checking for pdgssvx in -lsuperlu-mpi

As far as I can tell, this is due to the missing static metis and 
parmetis libraries for the linker commands.

How do people configure dune-istl with superlu-dist? Did I do something 
idiotic? Will the distributed superlu library be of advantage in 
dune-istl anyway?

Thanks a lot,

Sascha
