Barry's instructions are for petsc-dev. If you are using petsc-2.3.1 - it should not need any such updates.
Send configure.log for the failed build to petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov - and we can take a look at it. However - try making sure that PETSC_DIR is set correctly - and do the following. 'rm -rf externalpackages' Now reattempt configure. [and if it fails send us the log] Satish On Thu, 29 Jun 2006, Laslo Tibor Diosady wrote: > Hi Barry, > > I was just the basic version of petsc by downloading petsc-lite-2.3.1.tar.gz, > from the petsc web page, do I need to get the developer version to make this > work? > > Laslo > > > On Wed, 28 Jun 2006, Barry Smith wrote: > > > > > ls python > > you will see a directory called BuildSystem. > > If you are using hg to get PETSc then do > > cd python/BuildSystem > > hg pull > > if you are using bk to get PETSc you will need to switch to > > hg see http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/developers/index.html > > > > Good luck, > > > > Barry > > > > > > On Wed, 28 Jun 2006, Laslo Tibor Diosady wrote: > > > > > Hi Barry, > > > > > > Could you clarify what you mean by update BuildSystem? > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > Laslo > > > > > > On Wed, 28 Jun 2006, Barry Smith wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > You may need to update BuildSystem if you have not in a long time. > > > > > > > > Barry > > > > > > > > On Wed, 28 Jun 2006, Laslo Tibor Diosady wrote: > > > > > > > > > I get the following error when trying to run configure > > > > > > > > > > ********************************************************************************* > > > > > UNABLE to FIND MODULE for config/configure.py > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > No module named packages.MPI > > > > > ********************************************************************************* > > > > > > > > > > I used the command, and both PETSC_DIR and PETSC_ARCH have been set > > > > > > > > > > ./config/configure.py --download-parmetis=1 --download-mpich=1 > > > > > --download-f-blas-lapack=1 --with-shared --with-dynamic > > > > > > > > > > I believe this exact same command worked last time I tried to > > > > > configure petsc so I'm not sure why it would not work this time, > > > > > > > > > > Any help would be greatly appreciated, > > > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > > > > > Laslo > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
