[petsc-dev] PETSc release soon, request for input on needed fixes or enhancements

[Éric Chamberland]

Hi,

it's weird.  I launched my compilation script on another computer, and 
everything was fine with the petsc-master.tar.gz...

So I launched it on the faulty computer, but it installed with succes... 
however, there is no "default.log" file after the make procedure...??

Here are the non-problematic logs:

http://www.giref.ulaval.ca/~cmpgiref/petsc-master-debug/2016.03.03.18h22m37s_configure.log
http://www.giref.ulaval.ca/~cmpgiref/petsc-master-debug/2016.03.03.18h22m37s_RDict.log

What can I say?

Some thoughts:

- All this is completely automated by a crontab... so the environment 
variables shall be the same each night...
- configure+make+make install are launched by the script without any 
"human pause" in between the end of each command:  if there is anything 
launched in the background by make, maybe it is not ended before the 
beginning of make install?

I saw that there are also "make.log", "build.log" ".nagged", 
CMakeLists.txt files generated: do they should be inspected?

Unfortunately, be runing the script again, I erased the faulty petsc 
directory... so I am only left with the 
configure.log+RDict.log+default.log I put on the web page... :/

Thanks,

Eric
