Jed and Satish,

Thanks for your responses. However, that is the first thing that I tried:

rmills@ubuntu:~/proj/petsc-dev$ make -C ubuntu-gnu_g/
make: Entering directory `/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g'
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: Leaving directory `/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g'

Then I assumed that the instructions meant to say 'cmake', not 'make'. What is supposed to generate the makefile that gets used?

You haeve to use 'make' or 'make -j 4' here - not 'cmake'

I just do: [from petsc-dev]
make -C ubuntu-gnu_g -j 4

Same here. You should never have to invoke 'cmake' yourself unless you need to reconfigure for a specific IDE instead of the default Makefiles (and some IDEs, such as QtCreator and KDevelop4, will also do this for you).
