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

Hi Giacinto,

Dear Paul , 
thanks for your kind reply and useful information . The terminal says : 

"Giacinto-Gencos-MacBook-Pro:~ giacintogenco$ ~/nek5_svn/trunk/tools 
-bash: /Users/giacintogenco/nek5_svn/trunk/tools: is a directory 
Giacinto-Gencos-MacBook-Pro:~ giacintogenco$ ./maketools 
-bash: ./maketools: No such file or directory 
Giacinto-Gencos-MacBook-Pro:~ giacintogenco$ " 

How can I create the directory ? Maybe it is easier than I think , but I am stuck here . Thank you for your precious help , 

Best Regards

Dear Giacinto, 

The maketools command should be issued from 

~/nek5_svn/trunk/tools 

where you would type: 

./maketools (since it appears that "." is not in your path) 

Similarly, makenek should be issued from (say) one of the 
examples directories. It is normal to copy the makenek 
script to the location where you will build and run the 
example, so that makenek and SIZE are in the same directory, 
along with the .usr, .rea files, etc. 

I hope this helps.

Dear sir , 
I am a new mac user . I am trying to download the Nek5000 software but my MacBook Pro is telling me "Checked out revision 906 " . Later when I try to implement the different commands needed for the initial build I have lots of comment like "command not found" or " *** No rule to make target " and so on . 

This is what I have from my terminal :

What do you suggest me to do ? It seems that I have all the files I need ( X11 , Mac OS X Lion , etc ) but they are "disconnected " . Please if you have a number of instructions I should follow please send me . I will follow all th hints and the instructions you suggest me to do to run the NEK5000 . 

Thank you ! 

Best Regards
