Hi,<br>
I try to install petsc-dev on AIX/PPC cluster.<br>
I'd like to use xlc, however, there is a dead gcc/g++ installed in /usr/bin.<br>
Since I am not the administrator, I can't do anything to remove/update it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Specify the compilers using --with-cc --with-cxx --with-fc. I suggest you specify the MPI</div><div>compiler wrappers for this machine.</div>
