Thanks. The $PREFIX/include/makefile is just a hiccup from the installer and should never be installed. I have fixed next and master to not copy it. In fact there were a truckload of include/*/*/makefile that should never have been copied over,. FIXED Another bad copy of install stuff not mentioned is ls ~/petscinstall/include/finclude/ftn-auto/ -tmpdir pcexotic-tmpdir ao-tmpdir pcgasm-tmpdir petscthreadcomm-tmpdir dm-tmpdir pcmg-tmpdir dmcomposite-tmpdir .... i.e. tons of work directories that should never have been copied over. FIXED The other complaint is $PREFIX/lib/modules/3.4.1 but in fact there are many other things that should be complained about as well. include/finclude -nonname-spaced directory which includes two additional nonname-spaced sub-directories fnt-auto and fnt-custom WHAT SHOULD THIS STUFF BE CALLED? all subdirectories of bin get copied over including unnamed spaced maint and julia plus lots of silly stuff gets installed that should not be installed. I WILL FIX THIS ls ~/petscinstall/bin/ FASTMathInstaller.py julia mpiexec.sshsync popup uncrustify.cfg TOPSGenerator.py maint mpiexec.uni portabilitycheck.py update.py adiforfix.py mapnames parseargs.py pstogif urlget mpiexec.gmalloc petsclogformat.py pstoxbm urlget.py mpiexec.lam petscmpiexec pythonscripts win32fe configVars.py mpiexec.llrun petscnagupgrade.py saws mpiexec.poe petscnagupgrade.pyc taucc.py mpiexec.prun petscrun The famous conf directory gets copied over

Hi All, The PR has raised a few issues in what PETSc does when it performs a prefix install. In particular, PETSc generates the following files: $PREFIX/include/makefile $PREFIX/lib/modules/3.4.1 Neither of these have been properly namespaced. I'd suggest changing these to: $PREFIX/include/petsc/makefile $PREFIX/lib/modules/petsc/3.4.1 I'm not sure about the latter, I really don't know how package managers deal with local modules install, or if it's worth even putting it in if the user is requesting a PREFIX install. Another option would be to include the PETSc ARCH in the directory namespacing: $PREFIX/include/petsc/linux-gnu/makefile $PREFIX/lib/modules/petsc/linux-gnu/3.4.1 Thoughts? -A

I don't know how you track these issues internally, but it didn't seem to be resolved when I looked at the mailing list.
