[Users] Follow-up: How I got Visit 2.4.2 & CarpetHDF5 to work on Mac OS X Lion

[Babiuc-Hamilton, Maria]

Scott,

I finally got around to check follow your instructions, but I ran into this problem:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
               Parsed document of type Plugin
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Plugin: CarpetHDF5 ("Carpet AMR/curvilinear HDF5 output generated by the Cactus Computational Toolkit", type=database) -- version 2.1
    Attribute:  ()

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.


The only difference was that I did a 
 ./configure --enable-cxx 
first in my hdf5-1.8.9 directory. 


Could you please help me out?

Christian, do you have any suggestions?

thanks,
Maria

Scott,

Fantastic! I'll try it right away! I had problems making Visit work with
MacOS last year, and had to do my own little hack, but haven't use it for
a while, because I was afraid that if I upgrade I'll run into problems
again.
Have had any success with ygraph?

Cheers,
Maria
