[Users] Error in compiling einsteintoolkit on Mac

Your error message indicates that your compiler has a problem. You
could install a different version of gcc, e.g. gcc 4.5.2 either from
scratch or via MacPorts, and then use this compiler, which should work
(I'm using it). You can have several versions of gcc installed at the
same time.
