[Christophe Prud'homme]

Package: petsc
Version: 3.0.0
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

here is a simple code

#include <petsc/petsc.h>

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  PetscInitialize( &argc, &argv, 0, 0 );
}


now compile it like this:

g++ -I/usr/include/mpi -I/usr/include/petsc -o t t.cpp -lpetsc 

hjere is what you get

% ./t

basically something went wrong in the installation of the dll, petsc has 
harcoded the path used for compilation (though debian/rules uses 
PETSC_INSTALL_DIR), the so libs are unusable at the moment.

Am I perhaps missing something ? until 3.0 I never had any problems like that 
with petsc in Debian.

This prevents using petsc (and slepc) hence the bug being serious
