[petsc-users] Failure to configure superlu_dist

[Satish Balay]

I think moose is bound now to a petsc-3.16.5+ snapshot

>>>>>>
-- Could NOT find MPI_C (missing: MPI_C_HEADER_DIR) (found version "4.0")
-- Found MPI_CXX: /home/lindad/mpich/installed/lib/libmpicxx.so (found version "4.0")
-- Found MPI_Fortran: /home/lindad/mpich/installed/lib/libmpifort.so (found version "3.1")
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
<<<<

This is strange.  libmpifort is a different version than libmpicxx.so ?

If specifying these additional options (manually) get a functional superlu_dist build - you can also specify them to petsc configure via

--download-superlu_dist-cmake-arguments=string

[but yeah - good to know if this issue persists with petsc/main]
