Greetings: I'm trying to get ifeffit and the horae packages running on an Intel-based Mac running OS 10.4.7. As someone else noted previously, the binary downloads don't work on Intel Macs. (As an aside to the person who asked about the console log, in my case the programs quit immediately after launching and no messages are generated in either console.log or system.log. I do have X11 installed; this behavior is the same with either X11 or Aquaterm chosen for output.) So I decided to compile from the source. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem when compiling horae-062a. Using the Makefile.PL for Mac OS (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/misc/horae_on_mac/Makefile.PL ) seems to work fine, and after "make;make install" I get no errors and executables for Artemis et al. are produced. Unfortunately, attempting to run any of the executables produces an error similar to the following:
tchmac:/Applications/ifeffit/bin hufnagel$ ./artemis dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _iff_exec Referenced from: /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Ifeffit/Ifeffit.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup
dyld: Symbol not found: _iff_exec Referenced from: /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Ifeffit/Ifeffit.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup
Trace/BPT trap
A little digging around on the net suggested that this error comes from compiling with gcc-4.0 rather than gcc-3.3. Switching to that compiler, I can again run Makefile.PL successfully, but then when I run 'make' I get a new and exciting error:
[...much successful stuff deleted...] cp Zlib.pm ../../blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm AutoSplitting ../../blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm (../../blib/lib/auto/Compress/Zlib) /usr/bin/perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap Zlib.xs > Zlib.xsc && mv Zlib.xsc Zlib.c cc -c -I./zlib-src -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -O3 -DVERSION=\"1.41\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.41\" "-I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE" Zlib.c cc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [Zlib.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
and obviously no executables are produced. A little more digging on the web revealed that the cc1 stuff should be in the /usr/libexec/gcc tree. Unfortunately, while there is a subdirectory there for gcc-4.0 for Intel, the only files for gcc-3.3 are for PowerPC. That is, while there is a /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/cc1, there is no corresponding subdirectory for Intel processors. The reason the compilation worked for gcc-4.0 is that there is, in fact, a /usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/cc1. At this point, I am stuck. I can compile under gcc-4.0 but get executables which don't run, and I can't compile at all under gcc-3.3. I also ran into trouble compiling ifeffit, but I haven't exhausted my own abilities in chasing down those problems (yet). Any assistance/advice/condolences would be appreciated.
