Hello again to everybody, Yesterday I discovered the meep releases page on GitHub, https://github.com/stevengj/meep/releases <https://github.com/stevengj/meep/releases>.
If the the "git clone" download does not “make” or produces unexpected results, or throws seg faults, or fails to open HDF5 files, or does something else unpleasant, then an alternative is to go the releases page and download the tar ball. There one can find meep-1.5 which is the latest release, and it seems to be working as it should (so far so good) on both MacOS High Sierra and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
