Yea, I added -info.

Yea, I started with PetscPrintf. Started with WORLD then tried SELF. Still
no output but I can step through the code and see the print statements, but
nothing.

This is on Cori/Haswell. I have now used printf on my Mac and it works. I
did not do an install on my Mac, but I would not think that would matter...
I should test that I suppose.
