[CIG-SHORT] Re: PyLith BC help

[Brad Aagaard]

Rick & Matt-

The binary is built for powerpc, but intel macs can run powerpc 
executables. I tested it on my powerpc Mac and Charles tested it on his 
powerpc and intel macs. No one at the workshop had this problem that I 
know of so it isn't a general problem.

Rick- You have run test problems without difficulty, correct? Do those 
run with the debugging flag?
