Bogus! This is coming from a bad mpi4py install on my box! On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 3:25 PM, Matthew Knepley <[email protected]> wrote:

Lisandro has fixed the first issue, but another has sprung up in its place:

pip seems to be installing the packages out of order and insists on building petsc4py before petsc. We still have the issue with petsc wanting mpif90 available on OS X...

Where are the configure arguments stored so I can look at them?

This is on an OS X.6 box running Python 2.7 and pip 1.0.2

Found link http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-lite-3.2-p6.tar.gz(... http://pypi.python.org/simple/petsc/), version: lite-3.2-p6

The "lite-" prefix is being interpreted as part of the version, which pip doesn't quite know what to do with. It would probably just be easiest to host lite versions in a separate directory ../release-snapshots/lite/petsc-3.2-p6.tar.gz that petsc4py/PyPI can point to. Lisandro can also point to the non-lite versions until a solution is implemented.

This is going to be an additional problem:

UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS (see configure.log for details):

Fortran compiler you provided with --with-fc=/usr/bin/mpif90 does not work

Obviously the Mac doesn't come with /usr/bin/mpif90, so a clean system won't have this either... I think you guys know your options for how to fix this, but let me know if you want my 2 cents :)
