Hi
I am trying to install on a mac with snow leopard 10.6.4 and gcc 4.2.1 (also ifort 11.1) and up to date macports using dorsal-0.8.1.

The build went without obvious problems.

So I tried 

python demo.py

in the pde/poisson demo and I get

(BTW a colleague here who installed yesterday using0.8.0 with a seemingly very similar setup had no problem - except for the fenicsproject edit).


After this I have tried to read the discussion in the archives but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  

So I am at a bit of a loss what to do next.  Can someone summarize in a simple way what edits I should make in order to install FEniCS on a mac with snow leopard.  Thanks and my apologies for asking you about something that has been so extensively discussed already.
