Wrong path to libprce library on Mac OSX 10.11

0 votes

Hi,
I am new in FEniCS, please, forgive me if I am asking a stupid question.

I've just downloaded and installed the FEniCS dmg file for Mac OSX 10.11 (El Capitan).

After calling the script fenics.conf I tried to run one of the examples in the documentation page and I am getting this error when compiling

    Calling FFC just-in-time (JIT) compiler, this may take some time.
    In instant.recompile: The module did not compile with command
    'make VERBOSE=1',
see /Users/antolin/.instant/error/ffc_form_17a8e9d97ca1547f43127b009e0055d8aab3cb68/compile.log'

The log file shows the error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /Users/johannr/fenics-1.6.0/local/lib/libpcre.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/antolin/Local/Usr/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/bin/swig

I can fix this problem by creating a link for /Users/johannr/fenics-1.6.0/local/lib/libpcre.1.dylib pointing to the place where the library path in my system. But I was wondering if I am missing any configuration step after installation.

Thanks a lot.
