And a nice one it is. Can it be installed in its own prefix? Sorry, I never have, so I don't know the proper incantations -- I don't see a setup.py, but I haven't investigated further. > 2) script is superfluous for getting the variables > Yes, we could all write in assembly, too. Not to be too whiny, but expecting everyone to do interesting things with sed in their makefiles as a matter of course is not very reasonable. Some users don't even know how to write a makefile. And very few know how to extract a few values from a file from within a makefile without relying on an external script. I do, but I'm thinking about others who'd have to do similar things in the future (e.g., have a pile of code in which petsc is one of many external dependencies).
