[petsc-users] Problem with using make

[Barry Smith]

  It seems you missed $ in front of $PETSC_DIR somewhere along the line. I suggest deleting the PETSc directory completely, recloning PETSc and follow the instructions at https://petsc.org/release/install/ <https://petsc.org/release/install/> very careful to insure there are no typos or missing symbols.
