Krishnan,

To get the sparse matrix libraries working on my Mac, I compiled the
following: AND, CAMD, CCOLAMD, CHOLMOD, COLAMD, CXSparse, UMFPACK. I would
start by building these, taking care to modify UFconfig.mk to eliminate the
need for METIS. Try the build, and you may need to export LIBS=-lcamd to get
a complete build when you see missing routines from CAMD.
