[CIG-SHORT] Trouble Updating PyLith

[Brad Aagaard]

Jeff-

Some of the arguments for configuring petsc-dev have changed recently 
(they don't shy away from making changes).

You need to configure PETSc (petsc-dev) with

--with-shared-libraries=1 --with-dynamic-loading=1

rather than with

--with-shared=1 --with-dynamic=1

Update PETSc, reconfigure, and rebuild, and then update PyLith, 
reconfigure, and rebuild.
