Ok - I think the sources were extracted with a windows tool - and not cygwin 'tar' - so the scripts [which got extracted in dos format] are misbehaving.

Satish, Ok, how do we prevent this from ever happening again? When ./configure is run it should first check if the scripts are corrupted from a Windows tool and stop with a nice error message telling the user to use cygwin tar to process the tar file. Please figure out how to make this a patch for 3.3 Thanks Barry

Hi all,

I got the following error when running 'make test':

Using PETSC_DIR=/home/liyi0000/petsc-3.3-p1 and PETSC_ARCH=arch-mswin-c-debug Possible error running C/C++ src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex19 with 1 MPI process

See http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html /home/liyi0000/petsc-3.3-p1/bin/mpiexec.uni: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token 'elif' 'home/liyi0000/petsc-3.3-p1/bin/mpiexec.uni: line 4: 'elif [ $2 = "1" ]; then

Can someone help me with this? Thanks
