[aspect-devel] Fwd: Aspect installation error on OS X El Capitan

[Hiroaki Matsui]

Hi, Timo, 

Thank you for the updated information.
However, I haven't updated my MacBook from El Capitan.
Probably I am not the right person to test this package now.

Anyway, I tested deal 8.5.1 on my El Capitan, mpi compilers does not send error anymore.
However, I failed to run the program of tep-1 example of deal ii. 
command fails to link some dynamic library (probably).

And, I also try to run step-1 example of deal ii. without ‘mpirun’ command, but program also stopped by 
missing dynamic library.


Then, Noah, there would be three options now. 
1. Update the system to Mac OS X Sierra (or high sierra).
  It must be the most straight forward way, but some other programs in your Mac needs to be updated.
(Actually, I have not updated my macbook’s system from El Capitan.)

2. Use deal.ii.app version 8.4.1 
  It works on El Capitan, but I wonder if the latest ASPECT can work with ver.8.4.1.
3. Install deal ii. on mac from source code.
   Is it easy? Actually, I didn’t it successfully and that is why I used deal ii.app binary.

Thanks, 
Hiro.
