Thomas:

Thanks for testing Mumps. It sure does sound like linking and cygwin hell.  I have a complete intel C++ build of WinMumps that I am using (and have tested with another library).  Maybe I can see if that works.  Where should I get the MUMPS bindings?  https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/numeric_bindings/boost/numeric/bindings/  doesn't have them anymore.

Thanks,
Jesse
