[petsc-dev] configuring hypre on batch system

[Barry Smith]

  Mark,

   We don't generally support batch only systems with external packages; this requires the external package's configure to work on batch systems:   It would be nice to make this work but requires someone with access to that system (i.e. you). Essentially you need to add to config/BuildSystem/config/packages/hypre.py additional arguments that get passed to hype's configure when batch is used. Specifically at least the argument --host (Note this is an argument not to PETSc's configure but to hype's configure) I do not know if it has a value etc. You would need to look at hype's docs or consult with the hypre developers. I can't try stuff because I don't have accounts on those machines.

  You can try iterating with Satish on adding the support to hypre.py

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
