[petsc-users] Fwd: PETSc installation on Intrepid

[Jitendra Kumar]

Satish,
By building my own zlib library specifying it through LIBS flag to PETSc
configure, I was able to compile PETSC-Dev with HDF5 support on Intrepid.
However, I ran into errors while building my application and it looks like
the XLF Fortran is using case sensitive settings and is failing due to
mixed uppercase/lowercase variable names in the code.

I have followed the
/soft/apps/libraries/petsc/3.3-p6/xl-opt/conf/reconfigure-arch-bgp-ibm-opt.py
and am not sure if there's something included or missing in the
configuration causing this. I believe default is for XLF to not to be case
sensitive, but I am not sure what do I have that's making it otherwise.

I would appreciate if you can point me to anything I may be missing in my
configuration file. Attached are petsc configuration file and log of my
application compilation errors.

Thanks,
Jitu
