Colin I had a smilar problem ~4 weeks ago as I was preparing to attend the 2006 XAFS at the APS. To get it to work, I had to reinstall X11 (from the Mac OSX 10.4.7 CD; the "standard" installation does not install X11). After you install X11, you need to reinstall Ifeffit. * I found out the "hard way" that you need to install X11 FIRST before you reinstall Ifeffit.* I hope that this helps.

Hello,
I just downloaded ifeffit version - ifeffit-1-1.2.9-Mac10.4_horae62_pkg.dmg - to my Mac - Version 10.4.7 - and am having some trouble running the programs.
When I double click on the application file I am prompted to "Please pick an output device;" my choices are either "X11 graphics" or "Aquaterm." When I choose either of them, the application fails and the icon disappears from the dock.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a different version available for Mac OSX 10.4.7?
Thanks,
Colin _______________________________________________ Ifeffit mailing list Ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit
Colin, and all macusers in troubles :
1) open the console in /Applications/Utilities 2) launch the program and see what's the probleme reported in the console.
you'll get lots of that verbose dumb UNIX prehistoric-computing stuff that (nearly) nobody cares for. But needed anyway for you to decode any problem, incl. that one. Then, you'll become a free person ! (wishing you the best !).
hints: as Bruce said, it can be X11 missing (not installed by default) OR/AND you've a mac with an intel processor. ifeffit is not uptodate with that last macintel issue (( you did not specified your computer details, which does not help the helpers too )).
