Hi Matt,
No problem. I have succeeded in building and running ifeffit and pgplot on Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I thought this was the first step in building Demeter?
Should I be using Larch instead for this?
I'd say Yes. I may be biased, but not using PGPLOT is at least one obvious benefit. But, I think Demeter may not be ready for distribution with Larch. Bruce is working on it, and I think Athena is more or less working, but I don't know the full status. Either with Ifeffit or Larch as the back end, getting wxPerl working on OS X seems to be a large hassle. I've tried and failed several times on 10.6.8 (my current MacBook Pro is that out-of-data, I suppose). I'm willing to believe that having installed wxPython many times on this machine has trashed it for wxPerl. But I have tried (only once) building wxPerl on an 10.8 Mac mini at by beamline.... and also failed. It looks to be possible with MacPorts, but I have not succeeded in doing this myself. So, if you can solve that, I think the Mac OS X users would be very grateful..... --Matt
