Yes, it's there.

Yes, it's there.

This is why I was suggesting it would be more efficient if you take a look 
yourself. It is quite easy (three commands in total to build the package), 
and I would be happy to walk you through the commands etc. if something is 
not clear.

Here is a brief summary.

*****************************
To build source:

#apt-get build-dep petsc # choose first options for blas and lapack
$cd /tmp/petsc
$apt-get source petsc
$cd petsc-2.2.1
$debuild binary

To install binary:

#apt-get install libpetsc
*******************************

I can give you the above in more detail if you want.

If not, let me know what else you want me to check.

Thanks.                                                          Faheem.
