[petsc-dev] Compilation with ESSL SMP

[Satish Balay]

For one the option to use is --with-blaslapack-lib [not --with-blas-lapack-lib]

And you need to use the following notation: (as mentioned previously)

--with-blaslapack-lib="-lessl -llapack -lessl" i.e

--with-blaslapack-lib="/bgsys/ibm_essl/prod/opt/ibmmath/essl/5.1/lib64/libesslsmpbg.a /bglocal/cn/pub/LAPACK/3.7.0/lib/liblapack.a /bglocal/cn/pub/LAPACK/3.7.0/lib/liblapack.a"

If you still have failures - please resend configure.log
