My last message only went to Michael, sorry for that, you can find it
below.

I have now built mumps and all its dependencies (including scalapack) on
Arch, which works fine for me.

How can I actually test whether Kwant uses mumps? The only warning I get
is about my scipy missing umfpack. Is that the appropriate runtime
warning? If not a runtime warning about a missing mumps might be a good
idea. Also, is mumps detected at build or runtime or has the build.conf
be filled manually?

best,
Jörg
