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

[Satish Balay]

Its strange that you are getting this error in configure - but not command linke.

Does the following option make a difference?

--useThreads=0
or
--useThreads=1

If you need to workarround this - you can comment out that test (3lines)..

  File "/home/kongf/workhome/projects/petsc-3.7.7/config/BuildSystem/config/package.py", line 519, in updateGitDir
    gitdir,err,ret = config.base.Configure.executeShellCommand([self.sourceControl.git, 'rev-parse','--git-dir'], cwd=self.packageDir, log = self.log)
