    If I recall correctly, FLASH reader requires installing HDF5
    library. Try adding<br>
    <br>
    --hdf5 --szip<br>
    <br>
    to your build_visit command line.<br>
    <br>
    As someone already suggested, downloading and installing a pre-built
    package is the best option unless, of course, no package is
    available for your platform. <br>
