[aspect-devel] Troubles with opening vtk files in Paraview

[Lev Karatun]

Hi Juliane, Wolfgang,

it happenned in several different models, but I can't run them 1 more time
and compare the output because when I encountered the problem I started
updating Aspect and now I'm having trouble compiling it with Intel
compilers (trying to work it out with the guys from cluster support). I
can't use gcc because everything on the cluster is compiled with icc, there
is not even an MPI wrapper for gcc.
I appreciate your help and I'll let you know once I can check if the error
is reproducible.



Best regards,
Lev Karatun.
