[petsc-users] Configuration process of Petsc hanging

[Balay, Satish]

PETSc configure is attempting to run some MPI binaries - and that is hanging with this MPI.

You can retry with the options:

 --batch=1 --known-64-bit-blas-indices=0 -known-mpi-shared-libraries=0

[and follow instructions provided by configure]
