Hi Comer,

Looking at the parameter file, I don't see why it needs the CarpetIOHDF5 thorn; it doesn't seem to do anything with it!  So you should be able to remove CarpetIOHDF5 from the ActiveThorns line at the top of static_tov.par.  i.e. replace

ActiveThorns = "CarpetIOASCII CarpetIOScalar CarpetIOHDF5 CarpetIOBasic"

with

ActiveThorns = "CarpetIOASCII CarpetIOScalar CarpetIOBasic"

I just tested this, and it works without that thorn.

Can you let me know whether the error you got when you include CarpetIOHDF5 in the thornlist is that same as before, or if it's the one that Roberto got?

By the way, which tutorial or example are you following?

I am sort of at a loss about what to do further. I could completely nuke macports and reinstall all, which will take quite a while, but can do that if there is a good chance that it will help.

If you are getting the same error as Roberto, you could try his suggested fix (editing the includes) or mine (changing the CXXFLAGS) from the other emails.
