opendx configure failure

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I see the following error while trying to configure opendx. I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.6. Xcode 3.1.2.

Me too.

Same problem for me.

[john.b.colby@…]

I tried a workaround by explicitly adding AC_PROG_CXX after line 220 in the main configure.ac, and now opendx seems to compile and install fine. However, when I try to launch it, I get some netcdf library error. Any ideas?

[john.b.colby@…]

Ah...figured that one out too. If anyone has the same problem, it's a known netcdf issue:

[gwright@…]

I'll port the fixes and test them out, but I need to resolve the ghc-6.10.3/Tiger problem first. Looks as if that is not too far off, however.

[ralph@…]

The workaround worked for me. Thanks.
