Hi Baowei,

Thank you! Yes, it was the problem that lapack library was not 
installed. After installing the lapack library and adding the line you 
suggested in Makefile.h, it worked.

I didn't install lapack library before and have no issues running other 
examples. Right now, I have HDF5, HYPRE, NetCDF, Lapack installed for 
runing FLASH. Are there any other libraries that may be needed? Thank you.

Cheers,

Po-Yu
