[Users] cactus simulation build

[Steven R. Brandt]

I agree with Shantenu, you shouldn't have to debug these issues. Just 
send them to the list where there are a lot of people who can provide 
answers.

In this particular case, I think the error message is badly formatted. 
The command wants to be issued from inside the Cactus directory. It 
looks like there used to be a more useful error message in simlib.py in 
the GetDirSuffix routine, but it was commented out. I'm not sure why. 
Should we put it back?

Cheers,
Steve
