[petsc-users] Cannot find a C preprocessor OSX

[Satish Balay]

your mpicc is barfing stuff on stderr - thus confusing petsc configure.

I don't see this issue with the old openmpi I have access to..

What do you have for:

/Users/davydden/spack/opt/spack/darwin-x86_64/clang-7.0.2-apple/openmpi-1.10.2-37xieeupgsteaq6btru6wmhxfi44xqtn/bin/mpicc -show
touch foo.c
/Users/davydden/spack/opt/spack/darwin-x86_64/clang-7.0.2-apple/openmpi-1.10.2-37xieeupgsteaq6btru6wmhxfi44xqtn/bin/mpicc -c foo.c -show

I'm not sure what to suggest.. Perhaps you can use --download-mpich
[or --download-openmpi] - but then I see you are building all these
packages using spack - so perhaps you should check with 'spack' folk..
