I fear it doesn't work for me. I have untared the Horae-045.tar file in the Ifeffit directory. And when I type 'perl Makefile.PL', the installation script crashes and says 'Could not open /config/Config.mak file for reading'. The Greek gods may not be with me! I'll wait for the next tarball... Thanks a lot in adavance!
This is probably still an issue with permissions, but I'm not sure what you did exactly. It sounds like you tried to run horae_update in the Applications/Ifeffit directory. If so, this probably won't work, as you probably do NOT have write permissions to the /Applications/Ifeffit directory, and horae_update creates a folder (horae-045) to build the code it will install. Let me be more specific. Sorry if most of this is obvious! 1. Open a Terminal 2. move to your home directory: Type 'cd'. 3. run horae_update with permission to write to the /Library/Perl and /Applications/Ifeffit. Type 'sudo horae_update'. When prompted for a password, type the password for your user account (that is, the same one you logged in as). 4. If you get a message that says 'command not found', then read the message. a) if the message begins 'bash: ... command not found' then type '. /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.sh' Yes, that's a '.' followed by a space. b) if the message begins 'tcsh: ... command not found' then type 'source /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.csh' Then do 'sudo horae_udate' again. If you already have the horae-045.tar.gz file, 'sudo horae_update' is exactly the same as: tar xvzf horae-045.tar.gz cd horae-045 perl Makefile.PL sudo make install Once the installation is successful, you can remove the 'horae-045' folder. --Matt
