I am trying to download Petsc with slepc,openblas,mpich,meti,parmetis

ubuntu, I don't know because I am using it via ssh).

Due to an error, for metis, I needed to download cmake, so I added
this option, too. However, I got an error telling me that "Error
running configure on cmake". I attached configure.log.

What should I do? Where is the problem and how can ı fix it?

Thank you so much for answering,

It looks like you do not have 'make' in your path, and CMake is feaking out:

CMAKE was just downloaded, forcing a rebuild because cannot determine if package has changed
