[mesa-users] MESA on Yosemite (yes, already)

[Monique Windju]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded the mac minis in my lab to Yosemite, and I'm
experiencing this exact same error. I am unable to re-install MESA :( :(

Bill, did you find a workaround? It sounds like you did, but I can't figure
out from your email how.
If anyone else has experienced this issue and found a workaround, I think
the mac portion of our MESA community would like to hear it for future
reference :)


Thanks,
Monique
