[aspect-devel] ASPECT on Mac

Just a small update:

This is not a MAC problem, but another bug in the interplay of deal.II
and Trilinos newer than 11.08, see the discussion at
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dealii/iowW9okgkSc/Nal05792xlkJ

I think we have a fix in deal.II now, but until the binary package is
updated, you need to use Trilinos 11.08.

Sorry about that.
