Ok - I pushed this change to add PETSC_ARCH_NAME to petscvariables. I'm guessing you need this value to create SLEPC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH_NAME - where slepc config is dumped. One potential issue: Do you let users have a non-prefix install of slepc with a prefix install of PETSc? [I think this can get nasty :(] Satish
