Hi Matt,

Thanks, that fixed the compilation problem, but then the program just seemed to
hang at the place where it was creating/assembling the matrix.

My guess is that it is not hanging, but rather allocating all over the place. If you give
-info, it shouldlet you know how manty mallocs were used.

Maybe I do not understand how to set bs, the block size for the call
to MatCreateMPISBAIJ, any advice?

If you do not know the block size, just use 1 to start.

Are symmetric MPI BAIJ matrices my only choice? Is there not a symmetric MPIAIJ
matrix format?

That is really block size 1.

Thanks, Randy
