[Openmcl-devel] OSX install difficulties

[Hamilton Link]

One problem may be that the openmcl script uses /bin/sh, not /bin/bash.  
It's possibly executing in an environment where CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY  
isn't bound. If you try altering the path in the script file and it  
starts working, that would support such a theory.
