[petsc-users] FW: [alcf-support #195845] PETSc compilation

[Satish Balay]

After getting allocation [for you project] you can continue following
suggestions printed by configure below - and run 'conftest' on a node.

The option '--prefix=/soft/libraries/petsc/3.3-p2/xl-opt' doesn't make
sense for your install. It can be removed.

And you can remove blacs/scalapack options aswell [If you are not
using mumps from PETSc - you don't need blacs/scalapack]. PETSc
primarily requires MPI and blas/lapack.

We generally recommend upgrading user codes to latest petsc versions
[it will have bugfixes for issues you might encounter]
