[petsc-users] Petsc-3.2 with superlu_dist building error

[Satish Balay]

Actually the issue is:

"when installing both superlu & superlu_dist" together [if superlu
gets installed by configure after superlu_dist] - then the include
from superlu is the one that gets used.

Petsc-3.2 uses superlu_dist-2.5 - and petsc-dev uses superlu_dist-3.0

Now that superlu was updated to match superlu_dist-3.0 [without a
version change] - it breaks Petsc-3.2 build with superlu_dist-2.5.
[because the updated include file from superlu is incompatible with
superlu_dist-2.5 code]
