But it breaks... As I wrote above, I can fix it, but then re-running
configure rebuilds my built version.
Then I tried --with instead of --download, that resulted in a correct
build, unfortunately, seems like parmetis is somehow not registered
with petsc:

[0]PETSC ERROR: Unknown partitioning type parmetis!

Would you please advise how to go on?

Thanks
