Hi Satish,

I think something for handling the libz problem must be missing. I just tried configuring on Intrepid with the configure script appended to this email and I get the same problem:

Compression library [libz.a or equivalent] not found

I believe that the library that I need is present on the system:

[email protected]:~/proj/petsc> ls -l /soft/apps/zlib-1.2.3/lib/
total 128
-rwxrwxr-x 1 rloy software 108724 2010-04-21 01:35 libz.a

Any ideas on what I need to do to get configure.py to find and use this?

Thanks,
Richard

However there is hdf5 installed on it. You can try using
--with-hdf5-include/--with-hdf5-lib options.

There could still be an issue with "Compression library [libz.a or
equivalent] not found" but I think the workarround is already in
petsc-dev.

Thanks Satish. I tried using the configuration you pointed me to with the
addition of --download-hdf5=1 and got error "Compression library [libz.a or
equivalent] not found
"

Do I need to load some package to get this?

As the message indicates you need '--with-batch' option on this machine

Check one of the default builds on intrepid for configure options to use..

[perhaps
/soft/apps/libraries/petsc/3.3-p6/xl-opt/conf/reconfigure-arch-bgp-ibm-opt.py]

Cannot run executable to determine size of char. If this machine uses a

  Otherwise there is problem with the compilers. Can you compile and run
code with your C/C++ (and maybe Fortran) compilers?

This is what my configuration looks like (adapted from

configure_options = [
   '--with-cc=mpixlc',
   '--with-fc=mpixlf90',
   '--with-cxx=mpixlcxx',

   '--download-parmetis=1',
   '--download-metis=1',
   '--download-plapack=1',
   '--download-hdf5=1'
   ]

I would appreciate any help building the llbrary there.

Thanks,
