Hi Ronald,

> I have trouble during installation, see picture attached, any help ?

Please check that you have installed and configured the MESA SDK
according the instructions.

  http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~townsend/static.php?ref=mesasdk#Installation

If you've done that, we would like to see the output of the commands

  echo $MESASDK_ROOT

and

  mesasdk_blas_link

Can you also show us the command that you ran that generated the error?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you may have done

  sudo ./install

because that would result in the installer not picking up things like
the value of MESASDK_ROOT that is set in your .bashrc.  (When running
with sudo, you're in the environment of the root user and not in the
environment of your user.)

It's that's the case, then my advice is don't use sudo.  The MESA
install does not require root privileges.  (And you really want the
MESA_DIR somewhere that your user has read/write permissions.)

Josiah
