Hi!

...

Ideally, I would like to use your BuildSystem to hack up a quick build for Numerix. Then as we add and integrate more tools in, I would work on making it fancier.

Matt> Cool, we can do that. Step one in that direction would be for me to adapt make.py in $PETSC_DIR to build our shared libraries. I have made some effort in this direction (see attachment). But when I run it I get the following error: [dhcp-215-103]:~/Repositories/numerix % export PYTHONPATH=~/Repositories/numerix/externalpackages/petsc/python/BuildSystem:~/Repositories/numerix/externalpackages/petsc/python/PETSc:$PYTHONPATH [dhcp-215-103]:~/Repositories/numerix % python make.py Tue 09:09 Traceback (most recent call last): File "make.py", line 82, in ?
