It looks like this might be related to whether the installed python can find `libffi-dev` or not. I have found and installed `libffi-dev` from sources but I don't yet know...

@smao-astro the `libffi-dev` issue is likely only the *first* problem that halted forward progress. I suspect there will be more before we can get a complete build. I think I...

@JustinPrivitera honestly something silly like this doesn't necessarily surprise me. IMHO, there is a lot of complexity in the GUI and in how expressions are managed that could be improved...

So, that stuff about maximum material *number* I recall is here, https://github.com/visit-dav/visit/blob/b638f05efb53020ac7d4258e76b46cf13fb51092/src/avt/Pipeline/Data/avtMaterial.C#L46-L53 So, maybe just taking a quick look here to ensure the database itself isn't using some wonky material...

Other possible things to include... - custom plugins (source would need to get compiled at recipients end) - database files themselves (if very large, its a potential issue) - expressions...

Maybe paraphrasing @cyrush here but better understanding of *private* (or maybe *user-specific*) vs. *reproducible* state would help here.

Because engineering doesn't use *mixed* materials, we have no obligation to serve up material data from Mili as `avtMaterial` data. We could, instead, serve up as enumerated scalar. The reason...

> When saving as a curve, a curve was output for each bin, where the bin consisted of 5 points that outlines each of the bins in the plot. Not...

> Exporting still results in just the time and cycle being output. Do we really understand what we mean by *export* in this context (e.g. where the plot's *basis* is...

If we do any work to fix this, I would like to propose that we also make one enhancement to **Line tool** and that is to compute and display the...
