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

[Scott Hawley]

Yes, I remember seeing that error too; although it may have only been with
version 2.5 that I saw that.

So apparently some other libraries also used to be native, and are no
longer, and I had already created the other links.

So in addition to lipmpi*, you'll also want to do

% cd /usr/lib/; sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libopen-pal*
/opt/local/lib/libopen-rte* .


Let me know if that helps.
