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

[avatar]

Thank Satish. It worked as you said. But when I rebuild petsc using 
./configure --with-matlab
It prompts 
===============================================================================
             Configuring PETSc to compile on your system
===============================================================================
TESTING: configureLibrary from config.packages.Matlab(config/BuildSystem/config/packages/Matlab.py:35)         *******************************************************************************
         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could not find a functional Matlab
Run with --with-matlab-dir=Matlabrootdir if you know where it is
*******************************************************************************



Then, I did the following. But it shows that "/Users/zhihui/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/bin/matlab" nonexistent. However, it does exist as
Scott-Grad-MBP:bin zhihui$ pwd
/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/bin
Scott-Grad-MBP:bin zhihui$ ls
activate_matlab.sh	lcdata_utf8.xml		matlab-glselector.sh	mexsh
deactivate_matlab.sh	ldd			matopts.sh		optsetup.sh
engopts.sh		m3iregistry		mex			registry
lcdata.xml		maci64			mexext			util
lcdata.xsd		matlab			mexopts.sh



Do you know what it is going on here?

I guess you need to read up on some basic unix and system admin.

You probably meant to use:

export TMPDIR=/tmp

However  - you have:

export TMPDIR=tmp

To overcome this problem - you do:

export TMPDIR=/tmp
