[FLASH-USERS] Problem in installing Flash View

[Randy Hudson]

1  Under which OS's has visit gotten stuck?
2  Are there any error messages associated with the sticking?

I don't remember visit ever hanging because there are other app's running.

And, I second Tomasz recommendation that you email the visit help list (visit-help at llnl.gov).
