[petsc-users] Error when installing PETSc

use latest petsc release - 3.20

I don't think this ever worked. Use --with-fc=gfortran instead

/opt/ohpc/pub/spack/opt/spack/linux-centos7-skylake_avx512/gcc-8.3.0/m4-1.4.19-lwqcw3hzoxoia5q6nzolylxaf5zevluk/bin/m4: internal error detected; please report this bug to <bug-m4 at gnu.org>: Illegal instruction

You might need to report this to your admin who installed this spack package.

They might need to rebuild spack for 'x86_64' instead of 'skylake_avx512'

Or use a different m4 - say from /usr/bin - if you have it there.
