itaps-parallel FronTier tutorial

[Mark Miller]

Hi All,

FYI, I tested a modification to Ryan's Makeile to use '-static' on both
creation of .o (compile) and creation of executable (link). That
resulted in odd error for '-lgcc_s' (which I assume is probably needed
for shared libs maybe?). After I removed '-lgcc_s' and added '-
lz' (which is needed because hdf5 lib is compiled with zlib depdnence),
I got a static executable but with following warning...

/usr/local/hdf5serial/lib/libhdf5.a(H5FDstream.o): In function `H5FD_stream_open':
H5FDstream.c:(.text+0x125e): warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

However, the static executable behaved identically to the shared
executable. I still get 

mcmiller at mesh:~$ ./HelloFronTier
error type 3 in: iMesh_load
