Yes, the config.log file that you linked to shows the error if you
search for "cholmod_start":

  /usr/lib/suitesparse/libcholmod.so: undefined reference to 
`METIS_NodeComputeSeparator'
  /usr/lib/suitesparse/libcholmod.so: undefined reference to 
`ccolamd_set_defaults'
  /usr/lib/suitesparse/libcholmod.so: undefined reference to `METIS_NodeND'

and so on. This is likely due to the way that SuiteSparse is built with
METIS.

I don't use METIS so I can't help further. Perhaps Sergei's script can
help you.
