[petsc-users] Petsc 3.3.p5 with HYPRE 2.9.0b

[Jed Brown]

Petsc-3.3 was released half a year before hypre-2.9. The hypre developers
say they noticed the bug shortly after publishing the tarball, but did not
make a patch release. You can either (a) talk them into giving you/us the
patch or (b) publishing a patch release with a fixed build system, or (c)
fix the build system yourself and send us the patch. As soon as we have a
working hypre-2.9, we'll include it in petsc-dev (and petsc-3.4, which we
hope to release in a couple months).
