I've created an experimental branch in the petsc repo to start testing the build of petsc 3.7.0, https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/petsc.git
Using the same configuration we had for petsc 3.6, configure fails with the error: can't pickle file objects ******************************************************************************* File "/home/projects/petsc/build/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/framework.py", line 961, in processChildren child.configure() File "/home/projects/petsc/build/petsc/config/PETSc/Configure.py", line 1114, in configure self.framework.argDB['configureCache'] = cPickle.dumps(self.framework) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/copy_reg.py", line 70, in _reduce_ex raise TypeError, "can't pickle %s objects" % base.__name__ can't pickle file objects Can anyone make sense of this error? A simple configure (just ./configure) does complete successfully, so it's some problem in the complex configure line that we're using. But I don't know which term is causing the problem. Has anyone started using petsc 3.7 for themselves yet? Drew
