[petsc-users] petsc and slepc incompatibility

[Dominic Steinitz]

Replying to myself

I am not convinced what I am doing is going to work. I looked here: 
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/download/index.html and there is 
no mention of a 3.6.3 release despite there being a tag in the repo with 
3.6.3.

Can someone advise me which version of PETSc and SLEPc are compatible? 
Should I try PETSc 3.6.4 and SLEPc 3.6.3 or 3.6.0?

Many thanks, Dominic.
