[petsc-users] Configure error

[Fabio]

Thank you for your quick reply,I will try with a reboot.

Regarding the compiler my idea was to use MSVC express 2008. I thought
it was possible to compile both library with gcc under cygwin.
>From your reply I guess this is not the case.
Does this mean I should compile Petsc with MSVC express as well, isn't it?


Fabio.
