Hmm. I see in my configure.log that configureCMake succeeds: ================================================================================ TEST configureCMake from PETSc.utilities.CMake(/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/config/PETSc/utilities/CMake.py:21) TESTING: configureCMake from PETSc.utilities.CMake(config/PETSc/utilities/CMake.py:21) Check various things about cmake Checking for program /usr/bin/cmake...found Defined make macro "CMAKE" to "/usr/bin/cmake" ================================================================================ But farther down in the configure.log I find Invoking: ['/usr/bin/cmake', '/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev', '-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS= -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unknown-pragmas -g', '-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g/bin/mpicc', '-DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS= -Wall -Wno-unused-variable -g', '-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g/bin/mpif90'] Booting CMake in PETSC_ARCH failed: CMake process failed with status 1 in the output associated with configureFortranFlush. So it looks like the CMake "boot" is failing. Can you offer any advice on how to proceed? Thanks, Richard On 2/2/2011 11:21 AM, Jed Brown wrote:

Thanks for your responses. However, that is the first thing that I tried:

rmills@ubuntu:~/proj/petsc-dev$ make -C ubuntu-gnu_g/ make: Entering directory `/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g' make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/home/rmills/proj/petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g'

Then I assumed that the instructions meant to say 'cmake', not 'make'. What is supposed to generate the makefile that gets used?

configure should have generated petsc-dev/ubuntu-gnu_g/Makefile if cmake was found. Try rm -r CMake* ubuntu-gnu_g/CMake* # reconfigure if ubuntu-gnu_g/conf/PETScConfig.cmake is missing # otherwise you can just run config/cmakeboot.py (faster) make -C ubuntu-gnu_g
