 I downloaded the ET devel version (ca. Nov 26) on my (ubuntu) laptop and
 compiled it, using gcc.

 I compiled to the linker stage, and the linker complained:
 ld: cannot find -lnuma
 ld: cannot find -lltdl

 I found references to these libraries in:
 configs/[buildname]/bindings/Configuration/Capabilities/make.HWLOC.defn

 After removing these references, the code compiled and seemed (on the
 surface) to run okay. Are these libraries really necessary?

 I ask because every time I need to install ET on a new machine, it would
 be more convenient if the step "apt-get install libnuma-dev libltdl-dev"
 were left out, particularly since reliable Internet access may not exist
 at that time.
