[petsc-users] Unable to compile super_dist using an intel compiler

[Smith, Barry F.]

 CMake  likes to specifically check that all include directories passed to it exist. PETSc does not 

  foreach(dir ${TPL_PARMETIS_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    if (NOT EXISTS ${dir})
      message(FATAL_ERROR "PARMETIS include directory not found: ${dir}")
    endif()
    set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-I${dir} ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS}")
  endforeach()

Given configure's habit of printing things out of order it is not possible to say decisively where the include path first appears but it does appear here when checking for Fortran include files.
