Description

I am having the same issue described in https://github.com/LLNL/MemSurfer/issues/20 on a Oracle Linux 8 system. CGAL 5.6.1 is header-only and a devel package with the library is not available. It is not possible to build libCGAL.so using the source distribution. Has any progress been made to eliminate this library dependency?

Research direction

Start by comparing this report with the linked MemSurfer issue #20 and reviewing how the project depends on CGAL 5.6.1 on Oracle Linux 8. Confirm whether the source distribution can build without libCGAL.so; done means the project builds successfully without that unavailable library dependency.
