[Users] ET_2014_05 fails to build on Linux Mint 17

[Dumsani Ndzinisa]

Hi,

Yes, the file  libhwloc.la doesn't seem to exist anywhere in my
machine despite the fact that I have libhwloc-dev installed.
I have no idea why this is the case.

Also, even after installing libnuma-dev (on the command line)
still the following command returns the same output as it did
before installing the package.

  $ldd $HWLOC_DIR/libhwloc.so | grep numa
     libnuma.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnuma.so.1 
(0x00007fad44aec000)


I also corrected the following command and it gives the output
shown hereafter:
$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnuma.*
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnuma.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnuma.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnuma.so

Of course, it would help to eventually understand why -lnuma also
comes into the liking sequence. Probably someone else will be able
to figure it out, or it will come out in time.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind assistance.
