[petsc-users] HDF5 and PETSc

[Marco Zocca]

Good morning,

   Does the HDF5 functionality need to be explicitly requested at
configure time? I just noticed that my default configuration on a
single-node machine does not compile any relevant symbol.

I do not have HDF5 installed on my system yet, but I assumed PETSc
includes it by default, or automagically pulls the dependency in at
config time, since the manual doesn't mention anything about it. Do I
have to install HDF5 from source and rebuild PETSc then?

Thanks in advance,
Marco
