Hi Martin, Sylvestre,<div><br></div><div>To begin with, sorry for my deafening silence...</div><div><br></div><div>A partitioning library (Scotch or Metis) is not required to run parallel simulation as we have an internal partitioner based on a Space-Filling Curve algorithm (with, say, a loss of 20 to 30% in terms of CPU time). Thus, the warning saying that cs_partition is not available is not really an issue, performance aside.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Moreover, the cs_partition executable is not mandatory to run SYRTHES coupling simulation.</div><div>If relevant, could you precise why you cannot run SYRTHES coupling simulations without it ?</div><div>
<br></div><div>Finally, as regards the completeness of the package, it would indeed be a good idea to compile the preprocessor package with the Scotch library dependency, but I'm not for an abort of the compilation if it is not found.</div>

configure: WARNING: do not use SCOTCH<br>
SCOTCH (Graph Partitioning) support: no<br>
even if the scotch package is installed<br>
<br>
David, I wonder if we should not stop the build if scotch cannot be<br>
found correctly, don't you think ?<br>
