When launched on a system without OpenCL, beast-mcmc executable dies:

From a quick glance this seems to be happening due to beast-mcmc using
OpenCL version of libhmsbeagle1v5 (the line cited in the error message is in
libhmsbeagle source). However, beast-mcmc seems to support CLI options to
switch to libhmsbeagle1v5 CPU instance (see 'beagle_CPU' in
src/dr/app/beast/BeastMain.java). Maybe it is possible to make CPU mode the
default to avoid loading OpenCL-dependent libraries.
Thanks a lot for the hint. I've tried -beagle_CPU which fails and even
-beagle_off[1] which fails as well[2].
It looks as if beast-mcmc loads all shared libraries of libhmsbeagle
unconditionally before parsing the CLI options. Or it sees that OpenCL
headers are present (they are present even if no OpenCL device is
available) and loads the OpenCL-dependent libraries. I did not dig into
the source very much, though.
Best,
Andrius
