[petsc-users] Cmake problem on an old cluster

[Satish Balay]

BTW: cmake is required by superlu-dist not petsc.

And its possible that petsc might not build with this old version of openmpi - [and/or the externalpackages that you are installing - might not build with this old version of intel compilers].

I tried to use --download-cmake first, it does not work. Then I tried to clean everything (delete the petsc_arch folder), download the latest cmake myself and pass the path to the configuration, the error is still there.
