Hi list members,
I am attempting to install ifeffit on mac book running Lion (10.7.4). I have downloaded and installed xcode and gfortran. I downloaded the iffeffit package from github. I then cd into .../Downloads/newville-ifeffit-30644e and run
sudo ./PGPLOT_install
I get the following error:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I then downloaded pgplot5.2.tar.gz, dropped this into newville...e and ran ./PGPLOT_install again. This gives the following message, which comes after numerous warnings:

I did some googling and found this explanation of what might be going on: http://mingus.as.arizona.edu/~bjw/software/pgplot_fix.html
However, the iffefit INSTALL file says pgplot must be installed with the PGPLOT_install command, which these directions do not use.
Furthermore, since iXAFS runs on Lion, it seems to me that someone may have already found a solution to this problem.
So rather than trying more random solutions, I thought it might be pertinent to check with the list so see if that is the case.
If anyone can provide any suggestions or a known solution to this problem, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
George
