[mesa-users] Errors showing up during installing MESA

[Sanskriti Das]

Sorry for asking the question of customizing output. I should have checked
the files earlier.

Regarding the things I had to do for a successful installation of MESA-

1. I did not do anything extraordinary in the .c file. I opened the file
and saw two lines of stars which are usually kept in between different
parts of the whole code just as an ease for visualization were left
uncommented. I put a sign of comment in front. That's it.

2. Although in the website of MESA the command of setting environmental
varibles for Linux and Mac are given separately I had to use both of the
commands i.e. 'setenv' followed by 'export' and 'source'. Otherwise if I
don't use the 'setenv' , after applying the command of 'source' it shows an
error that environmental varibles are not set yet. Moreover it was showing
that 'setenv' is not a valid command.I searched in web for alternative and
found 'launchctl setenv' which worked fine.

Thanks to all for your help and suggestions.

Regards,
Sanskriti
