Your LIBS option is wrong. Either provide the path to the archive or use '-L/home/VNC/zlib -lz'. Configure Options: --configModules=PETSc.Configure --optionsModule=PETSc.compilerOptions --with-cc=gcc --with-cxx=g++ --with-fc=gfortran --download-mpich=yes --download-hdf5=yes --download-f-blas-lapack=yes --download-metis=yes --download-parmetis=yes --LIBS="-L/home/VNC/zlib/libz.a -lz" Executing: gcc -o /tmp/petsc-QOWz6u/config.setCompilers/conftest /tmp/petsc-QOWz6u/config.setCompilers/conftest.o -L/home/VNC/zlib/libz.a -lz sh: Possible ERROR while running linker: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status output: ret = 256
