[petsc-users] Could not execute "['git', 'rev-parse', '--git-dir']"

Ok - I don't think I have access to this OS.

And I see its from 2009 [sure its enterprise os - with regular backport updates]

But its wierd that you have such a new version of git at /usr/bin/git

>From what we know so far - the problem appears to be some bad
interaction of python-2.6 with this old OS [i.e old glibc etc..] - and
this new git version [binary built locally or on a different OS and installed locally ?].
