[Sumover-dev] Re: Reg: VIC on OS X

[Akhila]

Hello Douglas,

Can you help me in splitting the ports? Sending and receiving..
Are there any other instructions for compiling vic on mac? I tried around 5
times changing the name of hostname and it worked for only LOCALHOST and
does not work after I quit terminal. How do I link static libraries for vic?
And what libraries do I need to include while 'make'?

Thank you for taking time to reply me. It's really helping me understand vic
better.

Regards,
Akhila
