Error during installing elmer on mac os x el capitan

Post by Isaac »

Hello. I was going to install elmer my macbook and got an error message like below

Code: Select all

    CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:84 (MESSAGE):
      GNU Fortran version is too old, should be at least 4.8


    -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
but I have installed gfortran(v 5.2). What do you think the problem is?

And additionally, where I have to choose as installing place? Is there any guide for (literally) beginners?

Hello,

Do you use homebrew for the installation? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3976
I used it about half a year ago and it fetched all the dependencies automatically. There were problems due to conflicting homebrew versions with previously installed versions of compilers so I had to manually delete all the conflicting software (checked with brew doctor). After all those brew doctor warnings were manually cleared, the elmer installed without a problem with this homebrew tap.

Thanks for your reply, Pavel.

I didnt used homebrew.
I refered to informations from the official web site(https://www.csc.fi/web/elmer/sources-and-compilation)
