I'm honestly not sure *what* flags it was compiled with… Note however $ ./configure --disable-tecplot --enable-tecio will build the same functionality from source with no errors. I would like to make this the default soon, but didn't want to change too much at once. John, IIRC this caused you some issues with a vanilla Lion install or something? Could you try it and let mw know what if any are the errors? I'd like to beef up the configure tests so we can enable this instead?
