Dear PETSc team, I have interfaced our fortran legacy code with PETSC SNES. I mainly followed the examples you provide. What I conceptually used is : ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- call SNESCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,snes,ierr) call SNESSetFromOptions(snes,ierr) call SNESSETFunction(snes, pf, nonlinFormFunction, PETSC_NULL_OBJECT, ierr) call SNESSetJacobian(snes, mat, mat, nonlinFormJacobian, PETSC_NULL_OBJECT, ierr) call SNESSetKSP(snes, myksp, ierr) ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The code runs fine with -snes_type newtonls or newtontr. But when using -snes_type fas, it complains with the message : ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message -------------------------------------------------------------- [0]PETSC ERROR: Corrupt argument: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html#valgrind [0]PETSC ERROR: Fortran callback not set on this object [0]PETSC ERROR: See http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html for trouble shooting.

What is this object vec_rhs and how to set it? Thank you in advance, Nicolas
