<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Thanks, Barry,<br><br></div>It seems PETSc works fine with manually built compilers. We are pretty much sure that the issue is related to conda. Conda might introduce extra flags.<br><br></div>We still need to make it work with conda because we deliver our package via conda for users.<br><br><br></div><div>I unset all flags from conda, and got slightly different results this time. The log was attached.
