You are right to make the serial case work first, before proceeding to the
multi-process case with mpirun.

There are many possible reasone why this may not work on your system, 
including potentially multiple versions of some libraries like MPI, HDF5.

Does the file "libhdf5.so.10" actually exist in your directory 
/home/ludmila/hdf5-install/lib ?

If yes, setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to include 
"/home/ludmila/hdf5-install/lib" *may* be all that is needed to make 
./flash4 start up.
