[FLASH-USERS] Particles Unit

[Norbert Flocke]

Hello Ryan and Ryunosuke,

You should also include 'REQUIRES Particles' into your Config file, as 
this also automatically includes the Particles/localAPI directory, where 
the pt_interface.F90 source code is located. From your current Config file 
the Particles/localAPI directory is never reached and hence you don't have 
the compiled pt_interface.mod file.

Also, on a side note, be in for surprises when activating the Particles 
and Energy Deposition units at the same time. The +laser setup shortcut 
contains an explicit -without-unit=Particles statement, so there can be 
some issues when having Particles and Grid/Particles activated at the same 
time.

Best,
Norbert
