[petsc-users] configure failed on MPI and Intel Compiler environment

[NovA]

Hi!

I'm not a PETSc developer but have some thoughts about the issue...

I've got similar errors trying to build with MKL-10 on Windows. Intel
MKL v10+ has very different libraries layout as against previous
versions (see users manual). It seems that PETSc configure script
can't deal with this new layout yet. So you need to specify exact
blas-lapack library file names manually via "--with-blas-lapack-lib"
option. The value
--with-blas-lapack-lib=["${MKL_DIR}/libmkl_intel_lp64.a",
"${MKL_DIR}/libmkl_sequential.a", "${MKL_DIR}/libmkl_core.a"] worked
for me.

Regards,
  Andrey
