      Review of minutes from the last meeting

We went over the minutes from November 15 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/GlueX_Offline_Meeting,_November_15,_2017#Minutes>. 
HDvis now runs on the workstations in the Counting Room. Thomas and 
David had to re-install some drivers to make that work on all nodes.


      Review of recent pull requests

We went over the recent pull requests 
<https://github.com/JeffersonLab/sim-recon/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr>, 
some discussion, no significant comments.


      Review of recent discussion on the GlueX Software Help List

We went over the discussion threads 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/gluex-software>. Mark noted 
that Mahmoud's problem with a local build of sim-recon-2.20.0 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/gluex-software/iTak0cLaHTg> 
can be fixed by installing the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) and 
re-configuring and re-building ROOT. The need for GSL was mentioned at 
the previous meeting 
<https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/GlueX_Offline_Meeting,_November_15,_2017#Review_of_recent_pull_requests>.
