[petsc-users] PETSc module using modules~ both using PETSc sys, DMDA, vec, etc

[Barry Smith]

   Which version of PETSc are you using. The way we handle Fortran in the git master branch of the repository makes this easier than in the current release so you might consider upgrading. 

   Send the entire error messages, likely you are creating two modules that contain the same PETSc variables which is not allowed with modules.

I am currently only trying to compile 3 files out of the several that i have completed.
