Is it a drop-in > replacement for METIS? Every code I've tried seems to build with Scotch instead of METIS, just use -lscotchmetis -lscotch -lscotcherr and you should be all set. As for running, I have tried libMesh, which works, but is very slow. Then again, using METIS with it is probably also very slow, I didn't try it. So in my experience, it is fully compatible. The deal.II authors modified an aclocal.m4 patch I sent them to look for METIS, and if absent, then look for Scotch. It's in their SVN now, and I'll dig it out when I get some time. It might be helpful to have this m4 file in libscotch-dev at some point...
