Blaise, I think I fixed this a few months ago for petsc4py. It is suppose to have the right dependencies so petsc4py does not get rebuilt if it does not need to be. (For example it depends on the PETSc include files but not on the PETSc source files). If it still insists on rebuilding petsc4py when it should not in master please let us know the details so we can fix this. Barry

make libs should do that.

Hi,

Is there a way to rebuild the petsc library only, skipping rebuilding mpi4py and petsc4py if petsc is configured with them? I know I can ctrl-C this step if all I want is to rebuild the lib, but I would not mind a more elegant way..

Regards, Blaise
