ElmerGUI not starting anymore #4

Hi,

I am using MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) with Xcode 8.0

Elmer is installed in version 8.2.

ElmerGUI is not launching anymore. It looks for libraries at the wrong place. I believe it is due to the new path structure of Homebrew. E.g.: /usr/local/lib/libvtkDomainsChemistry-6.3.1.dylib is now at /usr/local/Cellar/vtk/6.3.0/lib/libvtkDomainsChemistry-6.3.1.dylib

I tried to solve this by using symlinks. This might work but this is not a good solution and I don't know how many libraries are affected.

How could I update/upgrade elmer or ElmerGUI in order to look at the right place?

Thank you very much!

Just interested to know: that the ElmerGui is not starting anymore suggests that it once was working. Under what OS X version was it working okay, and how did you manage it? I am having problems getting elmer to compile under 10.11.6 with Xcode 8.2. My problem is I have yet to see evidence of anyone successfully running the ElmerGui (albiet later than the very old binary at trueflaw.com) on a Mac and wonder if I am just wasting my evenings away trying to get it to go.
