[petsc-dev] PTScotch problem on Mac

Well we don't have this issue on our (macos) CI boxes where both c2html and scotch build and run daily [in CI]

what 'flex' are you using? And why does it behave differently on your box?

And what errors do you get?

Perhaps CI is using older xcode (command line tools) - and you are using newer? Or something else?

Barry - do you have this issue on your machine?

balay at ypro ~ % which flex
/usr/bin/flex
balay at ypro ~ % /usr/bin/flex --version
flex 2.5.35 Apple(flex-32)
balay at ypro petsc % clang -v
Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
balay at ypro ~ % balay at ypro petsc % ./configure --with-mpi-dir=$HOME/mpich-3.4.2 --download-c2html --download-ptscotch

<log attached>
