installation of MPB about mpb HOT 3 OPEN

MPI is not required for serial HDF5. On Ubuntu 16.04, the serial hdf5 files are installed into a serial subfolder. Here is the build script I use (I built libctl with --prefix=$HOME/local):

#!/bin/bash

cd mpb
sh autogen.sh                                                              \
    CPPFLAGS="-I${HOME}/local/include -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial"          \
    CFLAGS=${CPPFLAGS}                                                     \
    LDFLAGS="-L${HOME}/local/lib -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial"  \
    GEN_CTL_IO="${HOME}/local/bin/gen-ctl-io"                              \
    --enable-shared                                                        \
    --prefix=$HOME/local                                                   \
    --with-libctl=$HOME/local/share/libctl                                 \
    --with-hermitian-eps

make -j 2 && make install

You need to tell configure where to find your hdf5 installation. Please read the Unix installation basics in the manual.
