[Users] Installing on OSX10.12

[Guy Pitman]

Further to my last email on this issue, 

Can anyone tell me what version of gcc we should be using for the install?
I notice that the Mac Homebrew installation refers to gcc46 -  but there seems to be a problem running that on a Mac (it seemed to install OK under home-brew but I get segmentation fault 11- doing gcc-46 —version) :googling this, clang (Apple's LLVM-based C compiler) is intended to be a compatible replacement for gcc? I also tried gcc49 but that gives a problem with linking.  If I use the clang compiler, I get a problem with  the unknown type
      name ‘CCTK_COMPLEX16’ etc.


Regards,

Guy
