More or less. There are some Jaunty bugs which cause problems:

- sysconfig.get_python_lib() returns the wrong path (site-packages 
instead of the new dist-packages). This is a problem for ufc. A solution 
is to add '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages' to your PYTHONPATH.

- openmpi is broken (as is the frustrating and usual custom in Ubuntu). See

    http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2009/03/8571.php

The manifestations are a linking problem when both PETSc and Trilinos 
are enabled, and when using mpiexec or mpirun on a local host a password 
is requested. I've compiled and installed openmpi 1.3.2rc1 which seems 
to work.
