[petsc-users] Petsc configure error (cmake)

[Barry Smith]

   It's better to use git than download tarballs. With tarballs it is not possible to access recent fixes or try branches.

   Here is what you can do, save the attachment as cmakemake.patch and do 

   patch -p1 < cmakemake.patch 

   in the PETSc directory

   Then run configure as before
