I do specify serial partitioning. Basically all parameters are the same, but mumps from petsc just hangs.
I work with ldlt factorization.
Which version are you using?
The only version of metis supported officially by mumps is metis 4.0.3 which contains METIS_WND and was removed in favor of more arguments to METIS_ND. See my patch submitted here:
Search on their mailing list indicates others were successful in linking serially. Did you specify the option for mumps to use serial partitioning (through petsc options), out of curiosity?
