[petsc-users] compilation error of petsc-3.2-p7 with metis

[Kyunghoon Lee]

Hi all,

I configured petsc-3.2-p7 with the following options:

./configure
--prefix=/Users/aeronova/Development/local/lib64/petsc/petsc-3.2-p7
--download-mpich=1 --download-blacs=1 --download-parmetis=1
--download-metis=1 --download-scalapack=1 --download-mumps=1
--download-umfpack=1 --with-clanguage=C++

, which threw an error saying

*******************************************************************************

details):

Error running make on Metis: Could not execute "cd

In configure.log, there are some messages related to metis:

I think the error was raised by missing target 'library,' but I'm not sure
how to fix it.  I'd appreciate any suggestions.
