SLEPc's configure.py uses the value of $PETSC_ARCH in order to setup everything for installation. We never had a $SLEPC_ARCH variable because our configure.py does not add platform-dependent functionality. Now the problem comes when PETSc has been configured with --prefix and installed with

I would like to add that, despite the new buildsystem if by far better than the old one, PETSc has lost a nice feature of being able of being installed in a central location for multiple $PETSC_ARCH's . This feature is something I need, as I have to maintain the PETSc intallation in our cluster,

BuildSystem for PETSc+TAO

2008-12-12 Thread Lisandro Dalcin
