[petsc-users] Errors during PETSC installation (complex version)

[Satish Balay]

hm - this sourcefile should not get built when configured with
--with-scalar-type=complex

Suggest starting a fresh build and see if it works. Also make sure
there is no prior install of petsc in the specified --prefix location.

Also - the latest patched version in petsc-3.9 is petsc-3.9.4 - and
the latest version is petsc-3.10.0 - suggest using the later
versions. [when doing the rebuild]
