[FLASH-USERS] ask for some help

Thu Mar 3 11:13:36 EST 2016

Thank you Tomasz. I will re build visit with the flags that you suggest. I
was able to install the visit executables from
https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/executables
and now I can see the FLASH option to open the files and I can see the data.

Thank you all for the help!
