[petsc-users] cannot find 'libz.a' when configuring

[Satish Balay]

I could retrieve it from the one you attempted to send to petsc-users. And see:

>>>>>>
Possible ERROR while running linker: /opt/hdf5-1.8.9/lib/libhdf5.a(H5Z.o): In function `H5Zunregister':
H5Z.c:(.text+0xa9b): undefined reference to `SZ_encoder_enabled'

<<<<<<<

You did mention building hdf4 with szip-2.1. So perhaps you sould
specify hdf5 - and all the dependent libraries using
--with-hdf5-include --with-hdf5-lib options [and not --with-hdf5
option]
