Thanks Bruno and Daniel for pointing to the other options. I can report that superlu_dist does indeed work through trilinos for my problem. And you are absolutely correct that it is not the easiest to install. It took me a few hours to work out the details for installing on my mac based on the candi, Trilinos and dealii websites.
Just so if others need to do something like this, I am including the specific details of which versions are compatible. Parmetis-4.0.3 (contains Metis-4.0.3) SuperLU_dist 4.1 Trilinos 12.4.2 Deal.II 8.4.1 It is interesting that Trilinos recommends SuperLu_dist 4.0 or 4.2 or some earlier ones that also are not compatible, but 4.2 has some interface changes which triggered errors in Trilinos12.4.2 and Trilinos 12.0.1. However, version 4.1 which is not recommended by them does in fact work...
