In the future, please use WikiFormatting, Cc the port maintainer(s), and do not change the priority field.

I suspect that the "++" part of your part is messing things up. Towards the end of your log file there is this line

f.write('copies = '+re.sub(self.destDir,self.installDir,repr(self.copies)))

and PETSC_DIR=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_orizono-cysique_feel++-0.91.4_ports_macosx_macports_science_petsc/petsc/work/petsc-3.2-p5. The regular expression call should have escaped the + characters. Nevertheless, putting such characters in you path is just asking for trouble. If you want to contribute a patch, I'd be happy to include it, but I am not going to write one.

You're right. We just had a user report this when using '+' in the PETSC_ARCH but I see this needs to be fixed with PETSC_DIR as well. I'll fix it later t his weekend in petsc-dev.
