[FLASH-USERS] Compilation problem

[Celine Hue]

I have also met this problem before. Check if you have configured the hdf5 by parallel option. Also, the first time that I met the same problem, I have regulated it by simply removed the operation -lz from the “LIB_HDF5" lib path definition in the Makefile.h int the object directory. At least for simulations without laser it works well.
