yes - such issues [with huge attachments] shouldn't flood mailing list user mailboxes - and are best sent to petsc-maint. suggestion is to use: CC=/sw/lib/gcc4.4/bin/gcc-4 CFLAGS=-malign-double [instead of CC="/sw/lib/gcc4.4/bin/gcc-4 -malign-double"] Satish On Thu, 19 Apr 2012, Mark F.

I'm moving to a serial build on my Mac and am getting this error:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:2 (project)

CMake Error: your C compiler: "/sw/lib/gcc4.4/bin/gcc-4 -malign-double" was not found. Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. *******************************************************************************
