H5Part development and discussion

[Wes Bethel <ewbethel AT lbl.gov>]

Kurt kindly put a tarball in a location accessible to me pending
resolution of the "how does a normal Joe User gain access to the SVN
repository at PSI" problem:
http://vis.lbl.gov/Research/AcceleratorSAPP/Downloading.html

When attempting to build it, I ran into some snags.

1. There is no longer a configure file included in the tarball. The
README needs to be updated to reflect that you must first run
autogen.sh, which will produce a configure file.

2. Outright build failure of the homdynToH5p utility:

mpiCC -DPARALLEL_IO -DH5_HAVE_PARALLEL -DMPICH_IGNORE_CXX_SEEK
-I/usr/local/hdf5-mpich/include -I/home/tmp/H5Part-1.3.1/src  -g -c
homdynToH5p.cc

make[2]: *** [homdynToH5p.o] Error 1.

Using these configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/h5part-mpich --enable-parallel
--enable-tools --with-mpipath=/usr/local/mpich
--with-hdf5path=/usr/local/hdf5-mpich CC=mpicc CXX=mpiCC

My temporary workaround is to excise references to homdynToH5p from the
tools/Makefile.

tx,
wes
