Hi Deepak,

I think that we have now fixed our Mac packages, so at the moment I think
the best answer would be to download the new version of the mac bundle for
deal.II from our GitHub release page. I had exactly the same error as you
did with the older version of the mac bundle and the new version fixed it
for me, so I am optimistic that it will work for you too.

> I don't understand the Mac OS or Linux environment too well, so please
excuse me for asking - but when you say "compile yourself"  - what do you
mean? and is there a documented "procedure" for compiling that I can follow?

This is a completely reasonable question :) I meant that you should
download the source code, configure your local copy for your machine,
compile it, and install it. We have detailed instructions on how to do this
on the web site:

https://www.dealii.org/current/readme.html

Do you see what to do? Please post again if you still have questions.

Best,
David
