Re: [Ifeffit] Demeter OS X macports build failure

Hi Paul, demeter-devel is the most current version of Demeter available via Macports--you can always check by checking the port documentation itself. Since Demeter is a front-end to ifeffit, the black windows have to do with how Demeter renders on Macs and nothing to do with how up-to-date ifeffit is (as far as I know). Ifeffit was the dependency (of demeter) with the problem when called automatically by Macports, but updating that manually won't also update your demeter front-end. If you have the most recent ifeffit (now that you've updated it manually) and demeter-devel you should have the most updated version of everything.

Hi Bruce, Thank you for the suggestion. I would have tried addressing this directly, but the macports is supposed to handle dependencies automatically (like yum or yast in linux). The suggestion by Frank apparently solved the installation problem, but there is a potential "black window" problem in artemis. I can avoid this by using the package demeter-devel, but it was my impression that the package ifeffit was the most recent version. Hope I figure this out soon.

Cheers, Paul

Let me start out thanking you for writing and maintaining the OSX build of Demeter. Up until the latest release the different elements Athena, Artemis, and Hephaestus have been running more or less fine. In the latest update, I encountered a build error upon giving the command "port upgrade outdated". Here is the content of the log file. Do you have any advise as to how to proceed?

Paul,

Errors like this:

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: :info:build "__gfortran_compare_string", referenced from:

suggest a missing library that is being referenced but which cannot be linked to. Perhaps you are missing some package associated with gfortran...?

I'd likely know how to solve this problem on Ubuntu, but on macports.....
