I just browsed through the output of configure -help and don't see suitesparse. I do see stuff for cholmod but not a download option for cholmod.

You have to install it yourself. Tim Davis' installation plan is too much work to maintain separately for each of his packages separately. PETSc should have a --download-suitesparse, but we haven't written it yet, so you currently have to install it yourself. Linux distros have it in their package managers anyway.

OK. Thanks. I did not realize that was what you meant. I'll check for it in my distro and/or download and install it. Thanks for the tip.
