Please excuse me for forwarding a copy to the list in case there are others out there that have run into the same problem. For all those who want to be Tigers (Mac OS 10.4), here is a brief summary of the installation procedure. I should add that there is not an installer that will do everything at once, but the procedure is really pretty easy. I have not tried installing horae on a brand new system, I have only tried (and succeeded) in making a previously functional horae-051 under Mac OS 10.3 work properly under Mac OS (Tiger) 10.4. The errors you see are generated because there is a new version of perl installed (5.8.6) which doesn't know about Perl/Tk, the graphics system that Bruce uses for all of his packages. The solution is simple, you must download and install Perl/Tk and then reinstall horae. After that everything just works again. The build procedure is nearly automatic, but you need to have installed the developer tools (which are included on the Tiger installation DVD). First you need to download Tk from CPAN (the server where free Perl software is hosted). Here is the procedure. 0. I assume you had an installed and functional horae running under 10.3 and did an upgrade to 10.4 1. Download the source for Tk by a. make a new (temporary) scratch directory mkdir temp; cd temp b. download Tk going in your browser of choice go to the web page: http://search.cpan.org/~ni-s/Tk-804.027/ and hitting the download button on that page (the file will be named Tk-804-2.027.tar.gz) c. uncompress the file in your scratch directory tar zxf /the-path-to-your-download-directory/ Tk-804-2.027.tar.gz d. change to the Tk directory, compile, and install the new Tk cd Tk-804.027 perl Makefile.PL make sudo make install e. now you must download and install the latest version of horae via Bruce's web page go to the site http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/ software/downloads.html#unix and use the download link for horae-051.tar.gz f. decompress and install the new horae source cd ../temp (move up from the Tk directory to the top level of your new temporary directory) tar zxf /the-path-to-your-download-directory/ horae-051.tar.gz cd horae-051 perl Makefile.PL make sudo make install That's it. You are done. I just popped up a X11 window (you did remember to install the X11 program which is an optional install on the Tiger DVD accessible using the "Customize" button in the installer, right?) and typed artemis & and poof, artemis appeared. Note that if you did a clean install you should still be able to get everything working by downloading Matt's installer and installing the 10.3 copy (it won't work out of the box) and then following the above procedure. I have not verified this, however, so caveat empor as the Romans said... Hope this helps. Paul On May 10, 2005, at 3:08 AM, denauwer@tele2.fr wrote:

Dear Paul,

We have contacted Bruce because we want to use Athena on Mac OSX.4 and it is not working. We have tried from the terminal and we got the following message:

Could you if you have time, please, explain what we have to do to fix this problem?

Thank you for your help, Christophe Den Auwer
