[petsc-users] Config option --download-suitesparse fails

[Vijay S. Mahadevan]

I think someone at UFL messed up the webspace that hosts Suitesparse.
The locations are not recognized by the server. I can't even find a
manual download link at their site. Google redirects me to the same
403 error page too.

For the time being, is it possibly mirrored at one of the ANL systems
for download ?


Relevant error message with:

./configure PETSC_ARCH=standalone_packages --with-debugging=1
--with-pic=1 --with-mpi-dir=/usr/software/mpich-3.0.4
--with-blas-lapack-dir=/usr --download-hypre=yes
--with-shared-libraries=1 --with-clanguage=C++
--download-suitesparse=yes
