[Cmb-users] CMB binary doesn't work on my RHEL6

[Robert Maynard]

I expect we have a misunderstanding between CMB and RGG and the
website download section didn't clarify this.

computationalmodelbuilder.org aka CMB hosts two projects. Project one
is CMB Suite ( mislabeled on the download page as just CMB ) which is
focused on Hydrology. Secondly we have RGG which focuses on reactors.

CMBS and RGG have almost the same set of dependencies smtk, vtk,
paraview, remus, boost, qt, etc. The primary difference is the
resulting domain specific GUI.

I believe we have fallen into trying to build CMBS, when you actually
want to build RGG.
