[mesa-users] Test Failure on Supercomputer

[Ben Brown]

Jared,
     Could you also let us know what machine (which supercomputer) you're 
trying to compile on?  Also, have you successfully compiled other codes on 
this machine yet?

In my experiences, some of these machines require architecture specific 
libraries and compilers, especially when using mpi and openmp.  Depending 
on the machine, the vanilla MESA SDK may not work on these systems.
