Tried installing DOLFIN with PETSc support multiple different ways (via
Dorsal, manually, via Dominique Orban's Homebrew tap), and can't seem to
get it to work.

I'm currently (still) running OS X 10.8.5, attempting to install DOLFIN
1.3.0 (stable) using PETSc 3.4.2.

I can install DOLFIN via Dorsal successfully without PETSc support.
However, I've encountered what I think are conditioning issues in my
numerical simulations, and want to use PETSc as a backend for its
preconditioners.

If I attempt to install with PETSc support, CMake will do one of two things:

1. If I install PETSc via Dorsal, while detecting PETSc, execute the TS
code snippet (I believe it's called petsc_test_lib.cpp) without finishing.
2. If I compile PETSc myself instead of through Dorsal, PETSc and petsc4py
are detected successfully. Then, after listing the message "Disabling
generation of documentation because Sphinx is missing!", CMake returns an
error: "Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!".

The error message suggests I check
FEniCS/src/dolfin-1.3.0/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log and
FEniCS/src/dolfin-1.3.0/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log, and the logs don't
provide very much useful information. The last error in CMakeError.log
concerns OpenMP not being detected. The last output in CMakeOutput.log
relates to determining if QT_MAC_USE_COCOA exists; the CMake output on my
terminal indicates that QT was detected successfully.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Geoff
