[petsc-users] configure fails with batch+scalapack

[Smith, Barry F.]

  It helps if we have configure.log

   But if the non-batch version installed the Scalapack then why not just run a second time with the batch option; it should automatically use the scalapack that was already successfully installed. Send configure.log if it fails.
