I am working with the petsc/slepc dev versions and that could be a
reason. But once you install slepc to a directory, it does not need
the PETSC_ARCH information. The structure is similar to petsc. For
example, in my installation:

vijay@Higgs:/opt$ ls petsc-dev-opt/
bin  conf  include  lib
vijay@Higgs:/opt$ ls slepc-dev-opt/
conf  include  lib

And so to use these libraries with libmesh, I had to remove the
PETSC_ARCH value. Ofcourse now the library includes look something
like -L/opt/slepc-dev-opt//lib. Notice the "//" due to PETSC_ARCH="".
Is this not the case for previous slepc installations ?
