[petsc-users] CMake error in PETSc

[Smith, Barry F.]

   There is something missing in the cmake process that is causing needed libraries not to be linked.

   Please email your program and your CMake stuff (files you use) so we can reproduce the problem and find a fix.

The test example I used comes from: /snes /example /tutorials/ex3.c by modifying the suffix of ex3, there will be different error messages as following. I checked a lot of DSO problems on the Internet and installed a lot of libraries, but the error still haven't been solved. I was wondering if I was missing any prefix during the configure of PETSc(I use the simplest recommended installation), but there was no problem when the program was compiled with the 'makefile' which is recommended. Because I need some extra libraries, I have to use cmake.
