That helped _a lot_! Unfortunatly it looked like some assert kicked in when using the NewtonSolver: python: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:412: typename boost::detail::shared_ptr_traits<T>::reference boost::shared_ptr< <template- parameter-1-1> >::operator*() const [with T = Epetra_FECrsMatrix]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
