Unable to compile PETSc with Mumps

[r-williams-2]

Reposting this.

I was recently updating PETSc using the update_and_rebuild_petsc.sh script. However, this failed at Mumps with the below error:

In addition, please find attached the configure.log file. It appears that the directory path for Mumps has not been created although I am not sure the reason for this. It should be noted that if I exclude mumps, PETSc compiles fine.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Ross.

New complied MUMPS conflict with Conda carried MUMPS. There are two options for you:

1. use conda to get all latest packages including PETSc and libMesh via conda update --all

or

2. create a new environment without PETSc and libMesh in it. For example, conda create --name newmoose moose-mpich moose-tools. In this new environment, you can then use update_and_rebuild_petsc.sh . After you build PETSc, and you need to build libMesh.

For conda users, we suggest taking option 1.

So anaconda automatically manages PETSc as well? I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for clarifying that.

Yes, conda manages PETSc and libMesh and other dependent packages.
