Hi, we used to link our c++ code with PETSc using PETSC_WITH_EXTERNAL_LIB variable defined in $PETSC_DIR/lib/petsc/conf/petscvariables and everything was fine until this night. It seems some libs have vanished from this variable, see the diff here: -lptscotcherr -lesmumps -lscotch

Hi Matthew, Yes, I heard that the MPI C++ API has been deprecated. Yes, the mpi_cxx is now missing.  Our link line is formed mainly with PETSC_WITH_EXTERNAL_LIB variable that is now: PETSC_WITH_EXTERNAL_LIB = -L/opt/petsc-master_debug/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/petsc-master_debug/lib
