[ALPS-users] XML tag expected

[Michele Dolfi]

I forgot to mention that a temporary fix is just to set the environment 
variable ALPS_XML_PATH pointing to the ALPS_ROOT/lib/xml directory.

Assuing you have Conda in $HOME/Miniconda, this would be
export ALPS_XML_PATH=$HOME/Miniconda/lib/xml


Unfortunately the Mac build got stuck because of time limits on the CI 
servers and the Boost package just got a new version that seems to break 
dependent libraries, hence it might take more than expected for the 
actual fixes to propagate.


Best,
Michele
