[petsc-users] HDF5 and PETSc

[Marco Zocca]

Sorry for the previous mail, I hadn't fully read  ./configure --help :
all external package options are listed there, including HDF5

As far as I can see in
https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/miscellaneous/external.html and on the
PDF manual, not all external packages are mentioned, and this tripped
me initially.

So my question becomes: please synchronize the output of ./configure
--help with manpages and pdf manual :)

Thanks again,
Marco
