[petsc-dev] [petsc-maint] Installation problem due to Lapack

[Barry Smith]

  Why is this not being tested at ./configure time?    If the --with-shared-libraries is on, then each package tested needs to also test that the package can be used with shared libraries.  Easy enough to test. Matt could you please add this? 

   Thanks

   Barry
