[CIG-SHORT] Compiling pylith-2.1.0 using pylith 2.2.0 installer

[Brad Aagaard]

The PyLith Installer is designed to install the PyLith version 
corresponding to the installer version or use the Git repositories (for 
PyLith and PETSc). We always create a PETSc tarball compatible with the 
current PyLith version, so the installer for PyLith v2.1.0 will use a 
PETSc tarball consistent with that version. Similarly, the installer for 
v2.2.0 will use a PETSc tarball consistent with that version. The 
installer is not designed to install an older version of PyLith or PETSc.

If for some reason you really want v2.1.x, I strongly recommend updating 
to the v2.1.4 release (and the installer v2.1.4-0). Note that v2.2.0 was 
released on March 31, 2017, and we will be releasing v2.2.1 very soon 
(this week or next; we have v2.2.1rc1 available on GitHub).

Regards,
Brad
