[petsc-users] Fwd: PETSc installation on Intrepid

[Satish Balay]

--download-package might not work on all machines. --download-hdf5=1 does
not work on bg/p

However there is hdf5 installed on it. You can try using
--with-hdf5-include/--with-hdf5-lib options.

There could still be an issue with "Compression library [libz.a or
equivalent] not found" but I think the workarround is already in
petsc-dev.
