[petsc-users] Error when configuring the PETSC environment

[Peng, Kang]

Hi PETSc,

I am trying to configure the PETSC environment in MacOS (Apple M1 pro chip, macOS 12.1), but something went wrong when I executing those command below. I tried many methods but failed to solve it. Could you help me to solve it?

I’ve been following this instruction to install PETSc and configure the environment, but I can’t do it after changing to the new chip.

Error is as follows:
von at MacBook-Pro-VON petsc % ./configure --CFLAGS='-O3' --CXXFLAGS='-O3' --FFLAGS='-O3' --with-debugging=no --download-mpich=yes --download-hdf5=yes --download-fblaslapack=yes --download-cmake=yes --download-metis=yes --download-parmetis=yes --download-hdf5-fortran-bindings=yes --download-hdf5-configure-arguments="--with-zlib=yes"
