[CIG-LONG] Error when switching tag to gale 1.6.1

[John Naliboff]

Hi Hao,

I'm not sure why the config folder is not present.  Here is a link from 
the CIG website to the full source code for 1.6.1: 
https://geodynamics.org/cig/software/gale/Gale-1_6_1.tgz

Again, do note that this was released in 2010 and GALE is no longer 
officially supported.  Given the age of this release, the required 
dependency versions may quite outdated as well (i.e. PETSc) and this 
could lead to additional issues.

As was mentioned in previous emails, there are likely much better 
options for the processes you are examining.  Underworld2 should have 
all the functionality of GALE 1.6.1, with more stable elements and a 
bunch of other new and improved features.  In addition, this (and other 
codes) have a very active user base, which is not the case with GALE.  I 
_*STRONGLY*_*__* suggest looking into using another code.  Happy to help 
pinpoint what other code would be best suited for your purposes, but 
this is about the extent of help we can provide with GALE.

Cheers,
John
