itaps-parallel /usr/local/itaps on mesh.ep.wisc.edu

[Mark Miller]

Hi All,

I've been working on getting VisIt RE-installed with support for all
three ITAPS implementations and have a hit a couple of snags...

1. Does not appear to be an FMDB installation in /usr/local/itaps.
   What is there is only the autopack lib for FMDB.

2. -fPIC not used to produce the .a's for MOAB. I need to build
   .so's for VisIt. To do this from .a's for MOAB, those .a's needed
   to have been compiled with position independent code (-fPIC).
   Alternatively, if .so's for MOAB are there, I can use those
   directly.

Mark
