[petsc-users] SUPERLU_DIST in single precision

[Barry Smith]

   Felix,

   Sorry for the delay. Another issue came up with building SuperLU_DIST for this formulation that Sherry has to look at.

   We haven't forgotten you,

   Barry

duplicate symbol '_FormFullA' in:
    CMakeFiles/superlu_dist.dir/sreadhb.c.o
    CMakeFiles/superlu_dist.dir/dreadhb.c.o
ld: 1 duplicate symbol for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
