Hi,

I am trying to compile  PETSC  in cygwin for Visual c++ 2005.  I follow the
guide exactly from here:
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-2/documentation/installation.html.

and use below command:

 /usr/bin/python ./config/configure.py --with-cc='win32fe cl --nodetect'
--with-fc='win32fe ifort --nodetect'  --with-mpi=1 --with-f-blas-lapack=1
--with-hypre=1

 PETSC installation script really starts to run. However, it fails with
below errors:

It seems that the configure script miss to find the correct path. Does
anyone could point me out how to set the correct path for configure script
please?

Btw:  I have successfully compiled petsc library on cygwin for gcc.

Thanks.
