[Users] failed build on local mac osx yosemite [POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM]

[Comer Duncan]

Hi Ian,

Sorry...you should be out having a beer or something rather than this on a
Friday!  Thanks for the reply!

I don't think my errors in builds were the same as Roberto's.  This is a
muddy debugging problem, as Roberto and I seem not to have the same set of
macports--he has some I don't and both of us have the required list. I am
also using the new detect.pl file and until the last build I had
CarptetIOHDF5 mentioned in einsteinthornlist.th...so I am not sure we can
get a side by side comparison....sort of disappointing but probably nearer
reality of various users inequivalent installations on their machines.

I will give your suggestion of simply removing mention of CarpetIOHDF5 from
active thorns and see what happens...
