I expect that your SuiteSparse library has been compiled against the not GPL 
compatible METIS library.

You can try to build SuiteSparse without METIS on your own which is the 
preferred way (check the README.txt file of SuiteSparse about CHOLMOD_CONFIG = 
-DNPARTITION), or the not preferred way is that you add something to LDFLAGS for 
./configure to include the metis libraries, eg. -lmetis or similar... BTW, where 
did you get your SuiteSparse?
