Is there a well defined procedure of how to ask to have more sofware
installed ? I know I will need VisIt for example. Do I just ask for it
or install it myself, then send you the commands I entered (captured
from .bash_history)?

Most likely it was looking for C++ or Fortran HDF5 bindings which are
not installed by the usual systems. Also I think Debian now puts hdf5 in
a weird spot so that Cactus does not find all of it (or not the Fortran
.mod file or some such thing).
