Kubuntu Linux + PETSc Question

[Fernando Campos]

Dear All, 

I've found that, for my application, the PETSc that comes in Kubuntu Linux 
64 is twice faster than the one we can get in the PETSc's site. I want to 
use Hypre in my application, but I don't know how to use Hypre with the 
already compiled PETSc library in Kubuntu. Can you give me some hints in 
this task? Or maybe tell what should be reason for this difference in 
performance.. maybe I need some flags in order to optimize PETSc downloaded 
from the site? 

Thank you.
