#145: EOS_Omni requires HDF5 library. What about if it only uses HDF5 instead?

     Type:  enhancement    |      Status:  new
 Priority:  major          |   Milestone:     
Component:  Other          |     Version:     
 Keywords:  EOS_Omni HDF5  |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 At the moment EOS_Omni requires the HDF5 library to read
 the nuclear EOS values from a table. Since not all distros have
 fortran support for the HDF5 library as a default, I propose
 to change this requirement and provide a fall back in case this
 support is not present. Perhaps not using the nuclear EOS, or
 reading from an ASCII file instead. This could be just a temporary
 solution until the HDF5 library build script becomes more robust.

 Opinions?

 Thanks,
 Bruno.
