[ESPResSo-devel] Issue with installing on MacOS X

[Sebastian Bindgen]

Dear Espresso-Users,

my name is Sebastian Bindgen and I’m about to start my Master Thesis using Espresso. 

I’m facing a problem concerning the installation of Espresso. During my Master Thesis I’ll work on a MacBookPro with XCode installed (every other Software can be installed by myself as well). Until now I had Espresso run on a virtual openSUSE machine. Installation for Espresso worked but i couldn’t get VMD / VTK to run. 

Now I’m trying to install the Software directly on MacOS and got the exact opposite result: The Virtualisation-Software works but I can’t install Espresso. I have to admit I’m not very familiar with the command line (It took me two evenings to install Espresso on the virtual openSUSE), but in the meantime I know the basic commands. 

The ./configure script runs fine and also FFTW is recognized. The output of the command line can be seen below. I also tried to use it with sudo, but there was no effect.

In the Mail-Archive I saw, that some users already installed Espresso on MacOS. I want to ask, if you’re willing to help me with installation or at least give me some hints, what I have to do. What software, I have to install to get it running.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
Sebastian Bindgen
