Hi,

I modified the PETSc build.

However, I have now encountered another problem. Here are steps to 
reproduce:

1) Install PETSc using my Debian package.

2) Compile DOLFIN against this package, using

./configure --with-petsc-dir=/usr/lib/petsc-2.2.1

2) When I try running the demos (in src/demos) in the DOLFIN source tree, 
I get link errors, which appear to be that something thinks that the PETSc 
libraries are still where they were built, namely

/usr/local/src/petsc/petsc/petsc-2.2.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/petsc-2.2.1/

I'm not sure what is causing this problem or how to resolve it. The easist 
thing would be if one of the DOLFIN developers could repeat the above 
steps to reproduce the problem.

Thanks.                                                         Faheem.
