Exodus install scripts have been updated for Linux and Mac OS.

For Linux use install-exodus.sh
The script corrects some issues found in the Exodus configuration files.

For Mac use MAC_install-exodus.sh
The script is the same as suggested by https://github.com/sandialabs/seacas but requires a working set of compilers.
Newer mac compilers show conflicts or are missing fortran, the install script will need valid compilers set.

See help and hints at README.md under LaGriT/cmake

Hello, I tried installing with Exodus but I still get the cannot find -lcurl error as above when running the ./install-exodus.sh script.

[ 69%] Linking CXX executable SEACASExodus_ExoIICTests.exe
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurl: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm on a standard Ubuntu distribution running in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), but this should not matter, since is supposed to behave exactly as standard Ubuntu.

I guess something is missing from the ./install-exodus.sh script (it also throws a lot of warnings) but it is really difficult for me to understand what is missing.

Thanks in advance!
