Hi Bilal, I assume by "ADM" you mean "EinsteinBase::ADMBase?"

Can you tell us (1) what operating system you're on, (2) what version of 
the einstein toolkit you're using? (3) show us the exact error message? 
(4) show us what command you are using to compile?

Thanks.

    OK, I have this imported from SVN:
    https://github.com/EinsteinToolkit/cactuscode

    Some of you already have commit rights on it. I'm happy to have more.

    We apparently have a docker image in
    https://github.com/stevenrbrandt/et-websites already... and
    apparently I made it, though I don't remember doing so. Maybe I'm
    older than I think.

    What I need is someone to help with the content.
