Re: UMFPACK Installation Problem

[Krishnan V]

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I have managed to install most of the sparse matrix codes by doing an individual compile in each directory except for the  UMF set.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I think you need to build all of SuiteSparse (called UFsparse until a
few weeks ago) because there are some dependencies between the
libraries. Since you're dealing with RedHat and CentOS, and Fedora has
ufsparse RPMs, I'd suggest that you try rebuilding the Fedora SRPM. It
can be found at
