[Users] ET_2014_05 fails to build on Linux Mint 17

[Dumsani Ndzinisa]

Hi,

Concerning the few points of interest which Frank raised about my
distribution/installation, I have the results below.

  $ HWLOC_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

[ I didn't know if this was also part of the commands you suggested
   for me. I just typed it on the terminal anyway.

   $ pgk-config hwloc --static --libs
   No command 'pgk-config' found, did you mean:
   Command 'pkg-config' from package 'pkg-config' (main)
   Command 'pkg-config' from package 'pkgconf' (universe)
   pgk-config: command not found
  $ pgk-config hwloc --static --libs -lhwloc -lxml2 -lz -lm -lpci
  No command 'pgk-config' found, did you mean:
