Hi Dave, I use Debian/Ubuntu by default and my first approach (a number of years ago at this stage) was to install from apt. However, if memory serves, I had difficulty getting the packages LAM-MPI to work with the FDS5 software at the time.
Obviously, this is specifc to the FDS5 software. My intention with regard to requesting sources was to create a mirror so that people who have to use LAM-MPI (e.g. because their applications were statically compiled against them) would still have some way to get LAM-MPI instead of scouring the recesses of the web. Having the sources available gives the widest possible flexibility (instead of needing a Debian/FC/CentOS/RedHat system). I just assumed someone here would have a private copy of the LAM-MPI site and I was going to host them publicly just in case the wider community needed them.
