[mesa-users] Very simple question re: installation on a Mac

[Guido Moyano Loyola]

In .tcshrc (or .tcsh), a file that you could find too in your home
directory, depending on the shell that you use, add:

setenv OMP_NUM_THREADS 2

If you are using the MESASDK (which I think that everyone will highly
recommend you) you can see some
other things that you might need at the moment of installation

Good Luck with it!
Guido

PS: you can check the existence of these files (.bashrc or .tcshrc) by
typing on your terminal (on your home directory):

ls -a
