I could compile petsc using the newer version of gnu compiler.
However, there is some unusual error when I tried to test petsc using a print 'hello' file. I could not interpret what the error ('error.txt') is, but it says something related to MATLAB (which is not used in the 'hello.c' script). Any comments/suggestions?

1) Did you link PETSc against MATLAB? If not, did you link your test against MATLAB?

2) If you linked PETSc against it, likely you were in a shell with LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined so that MATLAB would run. Without that, it cannot find the dynamic libraries it needs.

  Thanks,

Is it possible for you to use a newer version GNU compilers?

If not - your alternative is to build PETSc with --with-cxx=0 option

But then - you can't use --download-superlu_dist or any pkgs that need
c++ [you could try building them separately though]
