[petsc-users] petscconf.h missing building cpp file with dolfinx?

[philliprusso]

So I have this to go by:
export PETSC_DIR=/absolute/path/to/petsc

export PETSC_ARCH=linux-gnu-c-debug

PETSC_DIR Is that the installation/destination path or the path where the source code is? I feel confused....

So there is a destination folder that dolfinx project wnats for petsc. I have an idea it might want /usr/local/include not sure of everything quite yet...

So after .configure mak sudo make install I found there was some type of difficulty with the destination directory so I copied the files manually into usr/includes of Ubuntu 22.04 jammy. So some petsc header files are now found for compiling cpp dolfinx source code but petscconf.h still not found by dolfinxs source tree of header files. Anyone know how to remedy this so dolfinx cpps can find petsscconf.h that g++ is claiming as missing? Thank you!
