[petsc-users] --download-fblaslapack libraries cannot be used

Configure Options: --configModules=PETSc.Configure --optionsModule=config.compilerOptions --download-hypre=1 --with-debugging=no --with-shared-libraries=1 --download-fblaslapack=1 --download-metis=1 --download-ptscotch=1 --download-parmetis=1 --download-superlu_dist=1 --download-mumps=1 --download-scalapack=1 --download-slepc=git://https://gitlab.com/slepc/slepc.git --download-slepc-commit= 59ff81b --with-mpi=1 --with-cxx-dialect=C++11 --with-fortran-bindings=0 --with-sowing=0 CFLAGS=-march=nocona -mtune=haswell -ftree-vectorize -fPIC -fstack-protector-strong -fno-plt -O2 -ffunction-sections -pipe -isystem /home/kongf/workhome/rod/miniconda3/include CXXFLAGS= LDFLAGS=-Wl,-O2 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,--with-new-dtags=0 -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-rpath,/home/kongf/workhome/rod/miniconda3/lib -Wl,-rpath-link,/home/kongf/workhome/rod/miniconda3/lib -L/home/kongf/workhome/rod/miniconda3/lib AR=/home/kongf/workhome/rod/miniconda3/bin/x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-ar --with-mpi-dir=/home/kongf/workhome/rod/mpich LIBS=-lgfortran -lmpifort

You are missing quotes with LIBS option - and likely the libraries in the wrong order.

Suggest using:

LIBS="-lmpifort -lgfortran"
or
'LIBS=-lmpifort -lgfortran'

Assuming you are invoking configure from shell.
