My take on this is that there is no compelling reason to install
aspect on OS X. It was non-trivial for me and I did it with the help
of Timo Heister, Juliane Danneberg, and Rene Gassmoller at CIDER. I
ended up installing it within a virtualbox image running xubuntu. For
any large-scale calculation you will be using a cluster or server that
will almost certainly be running linux anyways. That said, it is
certainly possible to install ASPECT on a mac.
I installed ASPECT (latest version on my macbook pro running OS X
10.9.4(?) in July. I have not tried re-installing since the latest
xcode update, which includes clang 6.0 and has the potential to break
everything. Your mileage may vary depending on whether you are
installing third-party packages manually or using fink, macports, or
homebrew. This is really the problem right now - because mac users
have so many choices to install dependencies, everyone's system is a
bit different in terms of dependency locations and versions. I also
had a really hard time with shared libraries. If you have multiple
copies of certain shared libraries (like blas) installed (for instance
provided by the system and also installed through fink), deal.ii and
ASPECT may compile successfully but fail at runtime due to incorrect
shared library versions. I installed everything in /usr/local. I
installed the latest openmpi manually and used clang 5.1 for the
compiler for MPI as well as Trilinos, deal.ii, and aspect. I tried
previously using gcc 4.8 or 4.9 (installed using fink) and it did not
work.
The cmake command for trilinos 11.4.2 was:

> A few years ago I installed an early version of ASPECT on OSX 10.7 (Mountain Lion). I don?t have the notes from that installation but I remember it was a mess. I think the whole process took almost 2 days and at that point deal.ii still wasn?t passing all of the benchmarks. I was able to run convection benchmarks successfully, but it was still far from ideal.
