Hmm. I see in my configure.log that configureCMake succeeds:

================================================================================ TEST configureCMake from PETSc.utilities.CMake(/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/config/PETSc/utilities/CMake.py:21) TESTING: configureCMake from PETSc.utilities.CMake(config/PETSc/utilities/CMake.py:21) Check various things about cmake Checking for program /usr/bin/cmake...found Defined make macro "CMAKE" to "/usr/bin/cmake" ================================================================================

But farther down in the configure.log I find

Invoking: ['/usr/bin/cmake', '/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev', '-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS= -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unknown-pragmas -g', '-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g/bin/mpicc', '-DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS= -Wall -Wno-unused-variable -g', '-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g/bin/mpif90'] Booting CMake in PETSC_ARCH failed: CMake process failed with status 1

in the output associated with configureFortranFlush. So it looks like the CMake "boot" is failing. Can you offer any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks,
Richard

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?

configure should have generated petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g/Makefile if cmake was found. Try

rm -r CMake* ubuntu-gnu_g/CMake*

# reconfigure if ubuntu-gnu_g/conf/PETScConfig.cmake is missing

# otherwise you can just run config/cmakeboot.py (faster)

make -C ubuntu-gnu_g
