[petsc-users] Petsc with open mpi 1.7

[Satish Balay]

Are you using PETSc makefile format?

Please compare your link command with the the link command used for a
petsc example [say from "cd src/ksp/ksp/examples/tutorials && make
ex2"] - and look for differences with your link command.

We recommend using petsc makefile format to avoid such issues.

But still, when petsc is linked with my application, the binary ends up looking for libmpi_f90 and libmpi_f77, along with the correct libmpi_mpifh.
