I guess you did it without the typo?

Anyway, it works for me now.

Another suggestion for the build system is to collect things that work
and things that didn't work so instead of

  Found optional package: petsc
  Unable to find optional package: slepc
  Found optional package: scotch
  Found optional package: umfpack
  Found optional package: gts

one gets

  Found optional package: petsc
  Found optional package: scotch
  Found optional package: umfpack
  Found optional package: gts
  Unable to find optional package: slepc

Don't know how hard this is to fix. It's not very important but pretty
printing is worth quite a bit.
