Yes, it is. Both the location of the header files and of the library 
files are located. I get an error using scons when the dev-packages are 
not installed.

Maybe Hatef could run 'python umfpack.py' in 
dolfin/scons/simula-scons/simula_scons/pkgconfiggenerators, and include 
the output (if any error), as well as the file umfpack.pc that will be 
generated in the same folder.

Also, the file dolfin/scons/simula_scons.log could be of interest. It is 
generated when using scons in the main dolfin folder.
