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
