Thanks for the help offer. I might even take you up on it in the (hopefully) near future. My current installation of athena, artemis, etc. is built using my manually installed perl 5.8.0 which is not compatible with the standard perl 5.6 that apple provides. I will have to build a new installation to make things more compatible. Then making a tar file will be a lot easier. Of course, the libraries required will span several different locations, namely /Library/Perl, /sw/lib, and /usr/local/bin among others. It would also be nice to put up a warning on the install telling people that it will install stuff into fink's space without telling fink about it (hence I want to make a fink based installation possible as well).

Hi Paul,
I can make an installer in about 10 minutes if you send me a tar file with all the athena artemis atoms and libraries.

I am also thinking of making an OS X binary installer (for those who don't want to deal with fink etc.). The installer would be for installation on a generic Mac OS 10.2.x system and would include ifeffit, athena, artemis, tkatoms, and the necessary libraries. All of this would be in effect, just copying over the necessary binaries with only a minimal check for safety. The other option is fink which would allow the use of potentially binary installations and/or compilation. The compilation step would require people to install the (free) C compiler from Apple. Any one else interested in using or helping with such a project?
