[petsc-users] Build Error

[Barry Smith]

  When PETSc is configured it creates a file configure.log in the PETSC_DIR directory; when make is run on it it creates a make.log file.

   The configure.log file is very useful for figuring anything that goes wrong.

From what I have gathered online, the /usr/bin/ should not be edited as it is managed by macOS and its system software which can lead to system instability. Do any of you know of a way around to get the petsc script to just look for libtoolize from my path and not /usr/bin/libtoolize?
