[petsc-users] Basic error " gcc: error: unrecognized command line option 'wd1572' " during the configuration step of SLEPc installation

[Satish Balay]

Likely the [MPI] compiler env is different between PETSc and SLEPc builds.

PETSc was build with mpicc using icc. Now during SLEPc build - mpicc is attempting to use gcc.

petsc configure.log would have more info on which mpicc was used to install PETSc.
