[Ifeffit] Demeter on ubuntu 14.04

[Robert Gordon]

Hi Edmund,

I installed on 16.04 LTS following this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg05851.html
though this was 2 years ago. A more recent installation, I think, did not
involve manually installing giflib-5.1.4.

-R.
