[Nek5000-users] Download and running of nek5000

Tue Mar 26 17:50:39 CDT 2013

Hello Alex !
Thanks for the very useful links . I am a Ph.D student working for
Professor A. Ostrogorsky at IIT in Chicago  . I am trying to install
Nek5000 on my Mac Personal computer , in order to run FE elements
simulations on my mac pc .  I partially solved my problem but now the
terminal is saying :

" Last login: Tue Mar 26 17:39:07 on ttys000
Giacinto-Gencos-MacBook-Pro:~ giacintogenco$ ~/bin/prex
Can't open display
 Did you setenv DISPLAY to your localHost
 and xhost + on the local display?
Giacinto-Gencos-MacBook-Pro:~ giacintogenco$ "

Now I do not know how to solve this " display " , but hope and think is no
big deal . Can you give me an advice on what to do ? Thank you very much
indeed since now ,
Best Regards ,

sincerely

Giacinto M. F. Genco
