Dear David, This indeed looks like the culprit! I verified that the libHYPRE-2.32.0.dylib had many duplicate LC_RPATH instances. Upon removing them, the executable (src/snes/tutorials/ex19) complained that the next linked library also has duplicate LC_RPATH instances.
So the issue is related to duplicated links. I modified the configure command and removed LDFLAGs and CXX_LINKER_FLAGs. ./configure --with-debugging=0 --download-make --download-cmake --download-hypre --download-parmetis --download-metis --download-ptscotch --download-mumps --download-scalapack --with-precision=double --with-shared-libraries=1 --with-scalar-type=real --with-fc=mpifort --with-cc=mpicc --with-cxx=mpicxx CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC" FCFLAGS="-g -O2" FFLAGS="-g -O2" MAKEFLAGS=w --download-bison And now everything works! √ petsc-3.23.1 % make PETSC_DIR=/Volumes/OpenFOAM/jsalazar-9/ThirdParty/petsc-3.23.1 PETSC_ARCH=arch-darwin-c-opt check Running PETSc check examples to verify correct installation Using PETSC_DIR=/Volumes/OpenFOAM/jsalazar-9/ThirdParty/petsc-3.23.1 and PETSC_ARCH=arch-darwin-c-opt C/C++ example src/snes/tutorials/ex19 run successfully with 1 MPI process C/C++ example src/snes/tutorials/ex19 run successfully with 2 MPI processes C/C++ example src/snes/tutorials/ex19 run successfully with HYPRE C/C++ example src/snes/tutorials/ex19 run successfully with MUMPS Fortran example src/snes/tutorials/ex5f run successfully with 1 MPI process Completed PETSc check examples One thing I noticed is that I have LDFLAGS=-Wl,-ld_classic there are still duplicate LC_RPATH. However, If I remove LDFLAGS and instead have CXX_LINKER_FLAG=-Wl,-ld_classic there are no duplicate RC_PATH. Thank you, I learned something today. Also thanks to Matthew, I have to be more careful about different paths, even if they lead to the same place. Sorry I took a long time to reply. Juan S.
