I will be sure to let Bruce know that his picture livens up your dock ; ) That is if he doesn't kill me first. Jeff On Feb 22, 2007, at 5:12 PM, Bradley Roberts wrote:
The Mac Intel version is quite nicely bundled and though it is more of an aesthetic thing, I prefer it to the version I was using on my PPC. I haven't had any problems running it, FWIW.

I should have mentioned as well that there is a link on the ifeffit wiki page (under Macintosh) to the Jeff's intel version as well as the powerpc version (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/Downloads). There is an also an explanation there stating X11 is necessary under platform notes. I did find something that might be improved. On the ifeffit page, there is a link on the first page (http:// cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/) to "Get the latest version" and if you follow that link (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/download.html), you are lead to believe that the power pc version is the only version for the Mac (there is no explanation otherwise) and the only link leads to the powerpc version. We could probably solve some of the confusion by adding an Intel Mac to the list. Ultimately, the best solution would be to make a "universal installer". First fixing the link on the "Get the latest version" would seem to be an easy fix (note this isn't a wiki page or I would have fixed it already).

Hi all,
I believe that there is a link to a Mac Intel version of these at the MRCAT home page:
There should be an installer for the Intel Macs there. It does require X11 to be installed already.

Yes, This is the case -- as I made the mac installer. The x86 mac cpu version was made by Jeff Terry. I am getting a new macpro notebook this week so I will start working on the installer sometime soon hopefully. I am still a little scared by Jeff's saying it wasn't trivial. Were there a lot of changes necessary? Jeff, could some of these be fed back upstream to Matt?

Any ideas why it isn't working?
I'm copying this to the Ifeffit mailing list, as I think someone else may have a better answer than I can give. Hephaestus does require X11, but I think the problem is that the Ifeffit-1.2.9 disk installers are all PPC only.
That is, I think no one has made an installer for Intel Mac.
