[CIG-MC] MPI_TYPE_DEPTH environmet variable

[Leif Strand]

Alina,

I would try setting it in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc file.  For ~/.bashrc:

export MPI_TYPE_DEPTH=10

For ~/.cshrc:

setenv MPI_TYPE_DEPTH 10

Of course, this might not take effect until you next login, so I would 
also issue the same command directly.  E.g., if you are using bash:

export MPI_TYPE_DEPTH=10
citcoms example1.cfg --solver.output.output_format=hdf5

Let us know if you still have trouble.

--Leif
