[aspect-devel] ASPECT on Mac (Timo Heister)

[Max Rudolph]

I tried to install aspect using the binary deal.ii packages and it did
not work. There was a problem with deal.ii trying to dynamically load
libraries referenced using an absolute path specification that
differed from the installed library locations on my system (for
bundled OS X libraries). Unless the deal.ii package has been updated
to use the latest clang and SDK etc released earlier this week, I do
not think that this will work.

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.
