Hi Ben, My PETSc install on an OS X machine requires about 343 MB of space, about 209 MB of which is MPICH. Unfortunately this has the potential of exceeding 500 MB temporarily I believe as the make process generates a lot of object files during the software build.
I think what you want to do is compile and install your own copy of MPICH (using a scratch directory or whatever tools you have at your disposal), then use the --with-mpi-dir=/location/to/mpich/install argument into configure. I've never staged a PETSc build on a machine with an extremely limited quota, the developers might have some suggestions on how to do this. ~A On 1/13/07, Ben Tay <zonexo at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to compile PETSc with mpi using --download-mpich=1 in linux.
