[petsc-users] Installation error: C++ preprocessor

[Satish Balay]

sowing defaults to using gcc/g++ [from env] for the builds.
Looks like the default gcc in your path is broken.

>>>>>>>>
configure:4100: gcc -E -traditional-cpp  conftest.c
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:362,
                 from /usr/include/assert.h:38,
                 from conftest.c:12:
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:32: error: #error "You need a ISO C conforming compiler to use the glibc headers"
configure:4107: $? = 1
<<<<<<<<<<<

Do you have access to a different gcc - that doesn't give this error?

Alternatively you can try '--download-sowing-cc=icc --download-sowing-cxx=icpc'
and see if that works.
