Hi Matthew, Thank you for the response.
I think I may have actually found an easier way to do this - using homebrew, follow the current installation instructions, except that hdf5 should be installed with parallel support, if needed (brew install --enable-parallel homebrew/science/hdf5), which will bring in OpenMPI. You also must install pkg-config (brew install pkg-config), since the one of the configure scripts requires it, but it's not explicitly stated as a dependency on the wiki. Libctl, harminv, and MPB can be installed in the normal fashion. To install meep, I went to /usr/local/share/openmpi/mpic++-wrapper-data.txt and changed the compiler from the system default (clang++) to g++-4.9 (installed by homebrew). This has to be done before running the meep configure script. Once that was done, I was able to build and link without issue. If I hadn't been using MPI, I could have accomplished the same thing by giving the configure script CXX=g++-4.9, I think. As you said, the symmetry test is failing due to a small numerical error, but 2D_convergance passes for me.
