[petsc-users] PETSc Windows Installation

[Mohammad Ali Yaqteen]

Dear Satish

When I configure PETSc with (./configure --with-cc=gcc --with-cxx=0 --with-fc=0 --download-f2cblaslapack) it runs as I shared initially which you said is not an issue anymore. But when I add  (--download-scalapack --download-mumps) or configure with these later, it gives the following error:

$ ./configure --download-scalapack --download-mumps
=============================================================================================
                         Configuring PETSc to compile on your system
=============================================================================================
TESTING: FortranMPICheck from config.packages.MPI(config/BuildSystem/config/packages/MPI.py:614)*******************************************************************************
         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortran error! mpi_init() could not be located!
*******************************************************************************

What could be the problem here?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you
Ali

The diff is not smart enough to detect the extra message from cygwin/OpenMPI - hence it assumes there is a potential problem - and prints the above message.

But you can assume its installed properly - and use it.
