[yt-users] Csh environment setting bug

[Britton Smith]

Hi Alice,

First of all, welcome to yt!

Someone is looking into your csh issues and will reply to the list with an
update soon.

I recently installed yt on a machine running OSX Lion and did not have the
issues you reported with zlib and compilers.  My experience was with a
brand new machine that did not have previously installed compilers or
libraries.  In your case, was this a clean install like mine, or did you
upgrade to Lion from an older OS?  If it is the latter, my suspicion is
that your issues were related to having some outdated libraries in your
path.  I think, in general, setting the environment variable "export
CC=gcc" on Lion will minimally do no harm, so we will add a note on that to
the install script.
