Old versions of petsc had 3 args for this function, latest version expects 4 (as the compiler error indicates).
When in doubt as to what these args are, please refer to the extensive man pages. You can find them all here https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/singleindex.html The page you want for this func is here https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscOptionsHasName.html Tip: It is wise to avoid performing a google search of the function name. It can bring you to the man page for an old version of petsc sometimes and this can lead to confusion. Best go directly to the URL above (or access the pages through the petsc web page) to ensure you are looking at the appropriate man pages Thanks Dave On Fri 17.
