[petsc-users] Cmake problem on an old cluster

[Danyang Su]

Hi Barry and Satish,

I guess there is compatibility problem with some external package. The 
latest CMake complains about the compiler, so I remove superlu_dist 
option since I rarely use it. Then the HYPRE package shows "Error: Hypre 
requires C++ compiler. None specified", which is a bit tricky since c++ 
compiler is specified in the configuration so I comment the related 
error code in hypre.py during configuration. After doing this, there is 
no error during PETSc configuration but new error occurs during make 
process.

**************************ERROR*************************************
   Error during compile, check 
intel-14.0.2-openmpi-1.6.5/lib/petsc/conf/make.log
   Send it and intel-14.0.2-openmpi-1.6.5/lib/petsc/conf/configure.log 
to petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov
********************************************************************

It might be not worth checking this problem since most of the users do 
not work on such old cluster. Both log files are attached in case any 
developer wants to check. Please let me know if there is any suggestions 
and I am willing to make a test.

Thanks,

Danyang

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.
