Ok - for https://github.com/pghysels/STRUMPACK/archive/v2.2.0.tar.gz to work - you need: diff --git a/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/strumpack.py b/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/strumpack.py index e3d32666f0..0edd9c19e0 100644 --- a/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/strumpack.py +++ b/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/strumpack.py @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ class Configure(config.package.CMakePackage): config.package.CMakePackage.__init__(self, framework) self.gitcommit = 'v2.1.0' self.download = ['git://https://github.com/pghysels/STRUMPACK','http://portal.nersc.gov/project/sparse/strumpack/strumpack-2.1.0.tar.gz'] + self.downloaddirnames = ['STRUMPACK','strumpack'] self.functions = ['STRUMPACK_init'] self.includes = ['StrumpackSparseSolver.h'] self.liblist = [['libstrumpack.a']] Are you updating petsc-master to use v2.2.0 of strumpack?

You can use:

--download-strumpack=1 --download-strumpack-commit=v2.2.0

Currently the tarball URL used is http://portal.nersc.gov/project/sparse/strumpack/strumpack-2.1.0.tar.gz - and it uses the notation:

strumpack-2.1.0/

But https://github.com/pghysels/STRUMPACK/archive/v2.2.0.tar.gz would be using a different notation for 'dirname' - so configure can't find it.

Hi, Satish, This configure option --download-strumpack= https://github.com/pghysels/STRUMPACK/archive/v2.2.0.tar.gz does not work. It looks it is because the package uses upper case for its name.

Looking for STRUMPACK at git.strumpack, hg.strumpack or a directory starting with ['strumpack']
