Hi there, we have a researcher here at VUW who wishes to make use of our NetBSD grid of machines, using OpenMPI under Sun Grid Engine for running the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) code which has PETSc as a dependency.
I have found a port of PETSc for FreeBSD but, as I have come to realise since moving to a NetBSD house, there are "subtle" differences in the various build systems. I thus thought I'd ask folk out there in the PETSc devel community, if they have had any experience with the package under the NetBSD pkgsrc system. For what it's worth, I have recently compiled and tested PETSc on a NetBSD platform, albeit outside of the NetBSD pkgsrc system. So before I wade in an add to my "NetBSD from scratch" experience and try to make PETSc build under pkgsrc, does anyone have any insight ? I am happy to take "no" as an answer. Kevin -- Kevin M.
