+MPB is a free and open-source software package for computing electromagnetic
band structures and modes. It saves results in hdf5 format.
+This package requires: hdf5, libctl, lapack
+
You may wish to also install: h5utils
You very probably want to build a multi-processor version of this
code by adding the "--with-openmp" configure option.

Configuration:
+
If the build script can find the ATLAS libraries, it will adapt the configure
options to use them rather than the default lapack.
-You can add additional options to the command line using the environment

installed slackware fftw library with two additional configure options, i.e.
not only "--with-mpi" but also "--enable-type-prefix".

Note:
This mpb build script does *two* passes. This is so that when MPI
support is enabled, the first compiles the mpb-data utility, then the second
builds the full MPI version. The resulting package includes both, with any
MPI version of the files replacing the non- MPI version.
