[Users] ET building issues

[Mario Gutierrez Abed (PGR)]

Thanks again Roland,

It does seem that your suspicion is correct; it appears that I do have both gcc-10 and gfortran-10 installed, and the Macports selection is being overridden. See the attached text files you requested.

Best,
Mario

    Hello Mario,

    hmm. Odd. The error message looks like the one gfortran-10 produces.

    Can you please attach, as a text file, the content of the file 

    configs/sim/config-info

    as well as the file

    configs/sim/OptionList

    ? There is some automatism in simfactory's setup-silent and it will
    *first* probe for gcc-10 and gcc-mp-10 and only of that does not exist
    will it use "gcc" (ie the macports select setting is
    effectively ignored).

    Can you also please check if you have gfortran-10 installed at all
    (the executable is called gfortran-mp-10)?

    If possible, it would be best to keep the conversation on the mailing
    list by using "reply-all" (I try to set reply-to but sometimes I miss
    it).

    Yours,
    Roland
