--- Begin Message ---Package: petsc Version: 2.3.2-1 Severity: important Hi, It seems that your package doesn't build as root: touch patch PETSC_DIR=/build/root/petsc-2.3.2 ./config/configure.py \ --with-cc=gcc --with-fc=g77 --with-debugging=1 \ --with-mpi-dir=/usr/lib/mpich \ --with-blas-lib=-lblas-3 --with-lapack-lib=-llapack-3 ================================================================================= Configuring PETSc to compile on your system ================================================================================= ================================================================================= *** Do not run configure as root, or using sudo. *** ***** That should be reserved for installation ***** ================================================================================= make: *** [build-arch] Error 3 It would be great to patch the configure script so that it allows to run the configure step as root, unless there's a very good reason not to do so.
