[aspect-devel] problem installing aspect

Wed Apr 11 10:15:06 PDT 2018

The easiest way to get a working copy of aspect and dependencies on the mac
is to install fink. Use fink to install gnu compilers and openmpi, and then
use candi to compile deal.ii and its dependencies. You need to set the
environment variables OMPI_CC and OMPI_CXX to point at the right c/c++
compiler (g++ in /sw/bin).

We had a very bad experience recently with the binary compilers provided on
hpc.sourceforge.net, which many mac users have been relying upon for more
than a decade.

Fink seems to be the best of the package managers because all of the added
libraries, headers, and binary files get installed in /sw where there is no
chance that there will be conflicts with Apple-provided libraries.
