[FLASH-USERS] Problem in installing Flash View

[Sean Couch]

Hi Randy,

I have been trying to get VisIt to work on my institutions Linux  
cluster for a while now and have been running into problems.  Does any  
one have experience setting up VisIt to work in parallel on Linux  
clusters using the LSF qsub system?

We have been successful in compiling and running VisIt in parallel but  
the interaction with the batch job system is shaky.  The only way I  
can successfully start multiple parallel compute engines is to  
(accidentally) use processors on the login node, where the mdserver is  
running.  This is, of course, not a good solution, so the system  
administrators have told me...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
