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

[Mark Miller]

Hi All,

   Ok, I've installed plugins for MOAB and GRUMMP implementations to
the currently installed VisIt in /usr/local/itaps and confirmed they
work on test data. The GRUMMP plugin works only on volume mesh files. I
don't know why yet but it does not work on surface mesh (.smesh) or
boundary (.bdry) files for GRUMMP. These plugins are named 'ITAPS_MOAB'
and 'ITAPS_GRUMMP'.

   I tried building the FMDB installation I have installed locally at
LLNL, fmdb_rev2272.tar.gz, on mesh.ep.wisc.edu. I ran into problems that
I think are related to gcc-4.3 compatibility so I did not persue
further. So, there is presently no FMDB plugin for VisIt.
