PETSC_LIB

[Satish Balay]

If the examples don't work [with the provided makefile] - you'll have
to check with the person who built this petsc for you..

Perhaps he needs to reinstall petsc - or just install blas/lapack for
this to work..

I presume the link error is because the lapack library is included in the PETSC_LIB command and this library may not have been installed during PETSc installation. I say this because the make file works fine on my laptop where I have installed blas-lapack during PETSc installation. Please correct me if I am wrong.
