[Libmesh-devel] Restart files with/without --enable-ifem

[Roy S. <ro...@st...>]

Would it be easy to do one or more of the following:

1) Allow --enable-ifem compiled versions of libMesh to read
--disable-ifem generated restart files

2) Generate more useful error messages when such a read attempt (or
the reverse sort of read attempt) fails?

There's a lot more we could eventually do for better compatibility,
but I'd at least like to avoid anyone getting confused by the problem
again.  Vikram was stuck in gdb for a while trying to figure out why a
restart file wouldn't load, when the answer was simply that John
configures libMesh without IFEM support and I recommended to Vikram
that he just use "--enable-everything".
