Re: [Ifeffit] feff question

I've also noticed that there is not a file or directory called gfortran in '/usr/local/bin'. This is what made me think I may also need to install the gfortran-4.2.3.dmg file. If I do not see a file or directory called gfortran in '/usr/local/bin' does this indicate that gfortran is not installed? Is it possible that gfortran-42-5577.pkg placed it somewhere else?

Is it possible that I need to download and install the gfortran-4.2.3.dmg file in addition to gfortran-42-5577.pkg file? Any suggestions as to what to try would be appreciated.

I doubt it.

It took me some time to find a download for version of Xcode that was compatible with my OS and gfortran. I installed Xcode 3.1.4 and the gfortran-42-5577.pkg file from the link Matt sent. I put the feff702.f file and the feff.inp file in the same folder. I used the x11 terminal to cd into that folder and the tried the commands that you suggested, but neither worked. When I try "gfortran -o feff702 feff702.f" I get the message "gfortran: command not found" and when I type "./feff702" I get the message "./feff702: No such file or directory". Any idea as to what I am doing wrong or suggestions as to what to try next?

"./feff702" didn't work because, as reported, there is no file named "feff702".

That file would have been created by "gfortran -o feff702 feff702.f", but was not created because the gfortran program was not found, also as reported.

What you probably need to do is either add '/usr/local/bin' to your path before running

...

gfortran -o feff702 feff702.f

or be explicit and run

...

/usr/local/bin/gfortran -o feff702 feff702.f

Then, check that there is a file "feff702", and try to run it:

...

./feff702

...

...

Also, to answer Matt's question: I want to use Feff7 because I am trying to compare my results to fits done my someone else, who used Feff7, and I want to change as little as possible for my analysis.

OK.
