[petsc-users] slepc-master does not configure correctly

[Satish Balay]

The primary change is -  DESTDIR in petscvariables is replaced with PREFIXDIR

i.e:

diff --git a/config/packages/petsc.py b/config/packages/petsc.py
index e89779e15..f2577e4c6 100644
--- a/config/packages/petsc.py
+++ b/config/packages/petsc.py
@@ -90,8 +90,8 @@ class PETSc(package.Package):
           self.precision = v
         elif k == 'MAKE':
           self.make = v
-        elif k == 'DESTDIR':
+        elif k == 'PREFIXDIR':
           self.destdir = v
         elif k == 'BFORT':
           self.bfort = v
         elif k == 'TEST_RUNS':

But then 'self.destdir' should be replaced by a more appropriate name
'self.prefixdir' [and update its usage from other source files]
