[PETSC #16590] PETSc on Dual Opteron Cluster

[Jeff Hammond]

I had no trouble configuring PETSc 2.3.3-p5 on my machine (granted
it's Suse 10.2 not FC6) with your settings.  The problem seems to be
rather obvious: "Error downloading fblaslapack.tar.gz".  Are you sure
your firewall is configured properly as to permit you to access the
appropriate repositories?  Why don't you just point PETSc to libblas.a
and liblapack.a, which come with FC6?  If they aren't there now
('locate libblas') you can get them from the package manager.

As for the value of --download-mpich=n (n=0,1) that would depend on
whether or not you already have MPICH on your system.
