[petsc-users] Problems with configure

[Modhurita Mitra]

Hi,

I am trying to install PETSc while downloading MPICH, but I am facing
problems running the configure script. Some errors from the configure.log
file are:

*******************************************************************************
         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for
details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error running configure on MPICH: Could not execute "cd

What might be going wrong?

Thanks,
