[petsc-dev] pip cannot currently automatically download and install petsc on OS X

[Aron Ahmadia]

This is on an OS X.6 box running Python 2.7 and pip 1.0.2

# at command line:
pip install -vvv petsc4py

# relevant bits:
Downloading/unpacking petsc>=3.2,<3.3 (from petsc4py)

    Found link
http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-lite-3.2-p6.tar.gz(from
http://pypi.python.org/simple/petsc/), version: lite-3.2-p6

The "lite-" prefix is being interpreted as part of the version, which pip
doesn't quite know what to do with.  It would probably just be easiest to
host lite versions in a separate directory
../release-snapshots/lite/petsc-3.2-p6.tar.gz that petsc4py/PyPI can point
to.  Lisandro can also point to the non-lite versions until a solution is
implemented.

This is going to be an additional problem:

         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for
details):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fortran compiler you provided with --with-fc=/usr/bin/mpif90 does not work

*******************************************************************************

Obviously the Mac doesn't come with /usr/bin/mpif90, so a clean system
won't have this either...  I think you guys know your options for how to
fix this, but let me know if you want my 2 cents :)
