Can you please give the following source code workaround a try? Since there is already "use petscvecdefdummy" at the module scope, one workaround might be to remove the unnecessary "use petscvecdefdummy" in vecnotequal and vecequals and all similar procedures.

For example, the test case has: module petscvecdef use petscvecdefdummy ... function vecnotequal(A,B) use petscvecdefdummy logical vecnotequal type(tVec), intent(in) :: A,B vecnotequal = (A%v .ne. B%v) end function

Ok - try this suggestion: diff --git a/src/vec/f90-mod/petscvecmod.F90 b/src/vec/f90-mod/petscvecmod.F90 index 0c447156b9..81968c7ca1 100644 --- a/src/vec/f90-mod/petscvecmod.F90 +++ b/src/vec/f90-mod/petscvecmod.F90 @@ -77,7 +77,6 @@ use petscvecdefdummy interface operator(.ne.) function vecnotequal(A,B) - use petscvecdefdummy logical vecnotequal type(tVec), intent(in) :: A,B end function
