Configuring PETSc 3.21.X on MacOS Sequoia 15.4.X

[Hammond, Glenn E]

For those of you having difficulty configuring PETSc 3.21.X on MacOS Sequoia 15.4.X, the following configure arguments work for me:

 

/usr/bin/python3 ./config/configure.py --PETSC_ARCH=gnu-c-opt \

--COPTFLAGS='-O3' --CXXOPTFLAGS='-O3' \

--FOPTFLAGS='-O3 -Wno-unused-function -fallow-argument-mismatch' \

--with-clanguage=c --with-shared-libraries=no --with-debugging=no \

--download-hdf5=yes \

--download-hdf5-fortran-bindings=yes \

--download-parmetis=yes \

--download-metis=yes \

--download-hypre \

--download-fblaslapack=yes \

--download-cmake \

--download-make \

--download-cmake-cc=clang --download-cmake-cxx=clang++ --download-cmake=https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/archive/v3.31.7/cmake-v3.31.7.tar.gz

 

Be sure to remove the old directory for your PETSC_ARCH:

 

cd $PETSC_DIR

rm -Rf $PETSC_ARCH

 

This issue may only apply to ARM chips. Note that there is no need to include “hypre”.

 

We hope to upgrade to PETSc 3.23.X soon, and that will provide a long-term solution.

Dear. Glenn, 

I went into the similar issue. I followed your guide above and could not resolve the issue. It gave warnings and errors when it checks the installation at the end. 

Please refer to the attached. Can you help?

fyi, I am using M3 (ARM-based) and OS - Sonoma 14.7.6.  

Thanks!

Seunghwan,

 

I never perform ‘make check’ with PETSc or build the PETSc example problems. It is possible that these failures occur with my installation. My metric for success is whether PFLOTRAN builds. What errors do you receive when you build PFLOTRAN?

 

Glenn
