[CIG-SHORT] issues compiling PyLith on MacOS High Sierra

[Brad Aagaard]

If you tried building with one compiler and then switched, make sure you 
have cleaned out all of the files in the install (PREFIX) location and 
build location before reconfiguring. I explicitly specify clang and 
clang++ when I configure just to be extra safe.

I have never had a problem building cmake with clang.

If you run into a roadblock and can't determine the problem and need 
help, please send the config.log from from running the PyLith installer 
configure AND the config.log AND the FULL make.log from the build that 
fails. The make.log is not generated automatically, so you will need to 
capture the output to a file, for example "make >& make.log".

Regards,
Brad
