Example fails with "Tried to build an unknown type" error

[jjramsey]

After building QUESO against GSL 2.3 and Boost 1.59.0, I tried to run the simpleStatisticalInverseProblem example, which failed with the following error messages:

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD 
with errorcode 1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

I notice that the list of valid options is empty.

Are you linking statically with queso?

Are you linking statically with queso?

Yes. Bear in mind that I eventually plan on running a QUESO program on a Cray, where static linking is preferred.

[dmcdougall]

Good news. This issue has already been fixed and merged so it'll be sorted in the next QUESO release. See #508 for details.

You can download the latest hotfix release from the releases page. Thanks for reporting the issue.
