Configuration crash - can't start new thread

["Ben Tay" <zonexo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I tried to compile the library on a linux sys (xeon). It gives the error msg:

 

*********************************************************************************
          CONFIGURATION CRASH  (Please send configure.log to petsc-maint@xxxxxxxxxxx)
*********************************************************************************

can't start new thread

  File "./config/configure.py", line 172, in petsc_configure
    framework = config.framework.Framework(sys.argv[1:]+['--configModules=PETSc.Configure','--optionsModule=PETSc.compilerOptions'], loadArgDB = 0)
  File "/nas/hpctmp/g0306332/petsc-2.3.2-p7/python/BuildSystem/config/framework.py", line 81, in __init__
    self.argDB['debugSections'] = ['screen']
  File "/nas/hpctmp/g0306332/petsc-2.3.2-p7/python/BuildSystem/RDict.py", line 219, in __setitem__
    self.save()
  File "/nas/hpctmp/g0306332/petsc-2.3.2-p7/python/BuildSystem/RDict.py", line 639, in save
    self.saveTimer.start()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/threading.py", line 396, in start
    _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ())

May I know what's wrong? I also can't find any configure.log file.

Thank you.

Regards
