petsc symlink under osx #243

Closed jviquerat closed 5 years ago

jviquerat commented 5 years ago

Sorry if that's not the right place to file this issue. When installing petsc from homebrew, the symlink that is generated seems wrong :

>> ls /usr/local/lib/petsc 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 viquerat  admin    34B May 13 09:01 /usr/local/lib/petsc -> usr/local/Cellar/petsc/3.10.3_2/lib/petsc

I would expect it to link to /usr/local/Cellar/petsc/3.10.3_2. The current linking pattern generates conflict when building projects relying on petsc with cmake.

I am using Osx Mojave, 10.14.4.

The best place to ask questions is https://discourse.brew.sh

Are you perhaps looking for the symlink /usr/local/opt/petsc which links to /usr/local/Cellar/petsc/3.10.3_2?
