Re: [Ifeffit] Demeter 0.9.19

Hi all, I have also had an impossible time trying to get the demeter package to work on Mac, but I am happy to do any tests if anybody thinks they have a solution. I am running 10.6.8. It's been a while since I've spent a lot of time trying to get it work, but I recall the pgplot port working pretty well for me. Since I have an older machine I had to upgrade my perl and that seemed to create some problems for me later, but I might need to spend more time on it/start over. Anyway, let me know if anyone wants me to test anything. Best, Alison Tebo On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 4:23 PM, Kevin Jorissen wrote:

Hi Frank,

thanks for responding ... I merely wanted to do you the favor of giving feedback on an experimental solution you solicited feedback for.

After wiping and reinstalling macports, your port also installs. I probably don't want to know why.

Cheers,

Kevin

I can concur with others here that making something work on Mac can be a miserable experience.

That’s the opposite of my experience.

Anyway, I tried "sudo port install p5.16-ifeffit" and failed: ~/Downloads% sudo port install p5.16-ifeffit ---> Computing dependencies for p5.16-ifeffit ---> Dependencies to be installed: ifeffit pgplot perl5.16 gdbm ---> Extracting pgplot Error: org.macports.extract for port pgplot returned: command execution failed Error: Failed to install pgplot Please see the log file for port pgplot for details:

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_pgplot/pgplot/main.log Error: The following dependencies were not installed: ifeffit pgplot perl5.16 gdbm To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide: http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets Error: Processing of port p5.16-ifeffit failed ~/Downloads%

(This is upon rerunning the command - the first time, it installed many more dependencies -- does anyone else suspect "port" of being designed to fill hard disks as fast as possible?) System is 10.9 generally up-to-date with most things. pgplot seems to fail during extraction.

The pgplot port extracts and installs fine for me on OS X (10.6 through 10.9). But this is completely off-topic for this list. Please go to the Macports users mailing list [1] for support about this issue.

I doubt that I'd be able to contribute a lot to this project, but I can test things.

That is helpful.

Also I'm surprised to read so much about gfortran about this thread, but maybe I'm missing some common knowledge on the project ... I am generally much happier with Ifort.

gfortran is the only fortran compiler that will work with Macports since it is open source.

Cheers! Frank
