[esp-r] Re: Installing esp-r on recent MacOS

[Lars O. Grobe]

Dear Jon,


thank you for sharing that script! I just had to remove "stats" from the
list of programs. The training models also trigger an error, but without
installing those I get the binaries and have prj starting. Next is
testing the functionality of the new installation.


Best, Lars.
