[petsc-users] Fwd: PETSc installation on Intrepid

Hi Satish,

I think something for handling the libz problem must be missing. I just 
tried configuring on Intrepid with the configure script appended to this 
email and I get the same problem:

Compression library [libz.a or equivalent] not found

I believe that the library that I need is present on the system:

rmills at login1.intrepid:~/proj/petsc> ls -l /soft/apps/zlib-1.2.3/lib/
total 128
-rwxrwxr-x 1 rloy software 108724 2010-04-21 01:35 libz.a

Any ideas on what I need to do to get configure.py to find and use this?

Thanks,
Richard
