[petsc-users] funny link error

[Scott Kruger]

>From you make.log, it looks like petsc found it  here:
/opt/cray/wlm_detect/1.3.3-7.0.1.1_4.19__g7109084.ari/lib64

PETSc has it and found it because BuildSystem did the query of what
it takes to get C/C++/Fortran to work together.  Why is it needed?
That's up to Cray.

But the question is:  

How is your CMake build getting PETSc info?  

If 
a) it using pkg-config and CMake's ability to parse it, then it looks like our pkg-config export might need work.
We'd need to see the pkg-config file to be sure though.

and if
b) it is not using pkg-config, then the answer is it should.
