Hi Hugh,

I'm new to the list and ifeffit. 

Welcome!

I'm new to the list and ifeffit. I've tried to get ifeffit 1.2.7

installed (for the first time) under tiger (on a system upgraded from

panther) according to the instructions posted in the FAQ and the

following modification on the list;

I have Xcode installed, g77 via fink, and ran the ifeffit binary

installer. Perl/Tk seemingly builds and installs ok but when I try to

build horae 0.5.3 I get the following error;

I think the binary installer won't work by itself for 10.4, and you'll

also need to install

the Ifeffit library from source.   It wasn't clear whether you had

done this or not, but

the message from horae's "perl Makefile.PL; make" that 'ifeffit -i'

failed definitely means that the basic ifeffit is not working.

I think you should try these steps (in a Terminal):

1.  Set up the Shell.  At the command prompt type  

   ~> . /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.sh     # note the '.' !! 

    if you're using bash or

   ~> source /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.csh

    if you're using tcsh.  If you're not sure which shell you're using

try both, and then

    you'll know.

2. download the ifeffit source kit (ifeffit-1.2.7.tar.gz) and do

   ~> tar xvzf  ifeffit-1.2.7.tar.gz

   ~> cd ifeffit-1.2.7

   ~> ./configure --prefix=/Applications/Ifeffit

   ~> make 

   ~> sudo make install

At that point you should be able to type 

     ~> ifeffit -i

and have it say 

  /Applications/Ifeffit/share/ifeffit

at that point, I think you'll be ready to install horae.

Good luck! 

--Matt
