yeah - all issues requiring configure.log should be sent to petsc-maint. There is some confusion regarding public mailing lists [petsc-dev, petsc-users] and private list [petsc-maint]. Here is some clarification: 1. To reach petsc-developers - any of the above e-mail ids are equivalent, although petsc-dev is supporsed to be for discussions on development version of petsc. 2. We do not want to flood inboxes of all mailing list subscribers with multi-megabyte configure.log or similar attachments. For this reason - any issues that involve configure.log [esp installation issues] are best sent to petsc-maint. 3. Mailing lists [petsc-dev,petsc-users] need subscription - but no such thing for petsc-maint]. Also mailing list emails reach all folks - while petsc-maint reaches only developers. And mailing lists conversation is archived and accessiable by all for future searches. 3. We do want to keep both the public and private conversation channels open - hence the existance of mailing lists as well as petsc-maint. Satish
