Great.  Thanks Ian.   I haven't tried simfactory yet -- I've been a bit out of the loop  --- I was just noting that the latest version of Cactus I downloaded a couple days ago said that I was on a new architechture

I'll take a look at simfactory.

There are full instructions at the top of the file for the commands needed to get it working, and you don't need simfactory to use the optionlist.  Just replace the @..@ tokens with something sensible.

The /sw directory is where fink puts things.  One needs to get gfortran and openmpi from fink.  Some of the libraries I'm using will not be necessary for all people, but I'll let you take them out.  This works for me!  ...Oh, that is to say, with all the "CarpetIO..." thorns not activated.  Haven't gotten those working yet.
