[Dune] ALUGrid-1.13 on Mac OS X, problems configuring and compiling

[Oswald Benedikt]

Dear Dune and ALUGrid developers,

although it might be slightly off-topic, I nevertheless would like
to ask for advice with compiling ALUGrid-1.13 on Mac OS X, 10.5.6:

I have successfully managed to configure ALUGrid on mac os x,
with one problem: 

The configure only succeeded if the additional directory
/usr/include/malloc was given in the CPPFLAGS, without
this option it would not succeed. It seems that this is standard
on Mac, but the configure would not find it ?

The second, more severe problem is:

I would appreciate any ideas and suggestions on this.
Maybe, this problem is linked to the malloc.h header file ?

Have a great day, Benedikt
