[petsc-users] "Could not find a suitable archiver. Use --with-ar to specify an archiver"

[avatar]

Hi,

When I try to configure PETSc to connect Matlab with the following command
./petsc-3.8.3/configure —with-matlab
, it prompts
===============================================================================
             Configuring PETSc to compile on your system
===============================================================================
TESTING: checkArchiver from config.setCompilers(config/BuildSystem/config/setCompilers.py:1184)                  *******************************************************************************
         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could not find a suitable archiver.  Use --with-ar to specify an archiver.
*******************************************************************************



I am a newbie on Petsc. Could you please tell me how I should specify an archiver?  I am on MacOX system. I have tried many ways but it still does not work.


Thank you very much for your help.


Best,
Joe
