Yes. Now I have removed suitesparse_metis_dev and installed (again)
suitesparse_dev

This is what happens (first I did make clean & hg pull & hg update &./bootstrap
then
./configure

Output:

configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found.  This will result in some lack
of functionality for sparse matrices.

and higher up in the output I find this lines, explaining why UMFPACK
is not found:

checking suitesparse/umfpack.h usability... yes
checking suitesparse/umfpack.h presence... yes
checking for suitesparse/umfpack.h... yes
checking for umfpack_zi_get_determinant in -lumfpack... no
configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found.  This will result in some lack
of functionality for sparse matrices.

so it is                            umfpack_zi_get_determinant

which is not found
