[CIG-SHORT] PyLith tutorial at CIG16: things you need to do **before** the tutorial

[Ravi Kanda]

Hi Brad,

I am trying to install Pylith on Ubuntu 14 with the latest source 
installer tarball (2.1.0-3).  I already have previous (apt-get) 
installations of mpi2, python/numpy, netcdf4, proj4, and cppunit. So, I 
am using the "DESKTOP-LINUX-MINIMAL" options as described in the 
"INSTALL" file.  Running config from directory $PYLITHROOT/src/pylith, 
which also contains the pylith installer directory, 
'pylith-installer-2.1.0-3'.  I am running into config problems (attached 
CONFIG.LOG), which I hope is due to a stupid mistake on my part:

(1) I get two "command not found" or "No such file or directory" errors 
when I unset or set, respectively, the CPPFLAGS env variable related to 
the following:
      - configure:22278: checking cppunit/TestRunner.h presence
      - configure:23244: checking netcdfcpp.h presence
The appropriate include-dir for the above on my system is /usr/include, 
which I thought was 'standard'.  Also, in both cases, I see something 
like the following below each of these items (line numbers purged):
     "... accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
      ... WARNING: ... : proceeding with the compiler's result"

(2)  Then configure seems to go into an "infinite loop" after looking 
for 'netcdfcpp.h', printing out lines containing only the string "=yes" 
(see attached STDOUT capture).  When I look at system processes in 
'top', I see an executable with the name 'yes' running away.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Ravi.
