Problem loading application on Mac OSX 10.4.7
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

I have OSX 10.4.7 and have installed ifeffit-1.2.8-Mac10.4_horae61a_pkg.dmg With that, I do not see the problem Stefano -- ____________________________________________ Stefano Ciurli Professor of Chemistry Laboratory of Bioinorganic Chemistry Department of Agro-Environmental Science and Technology University of Bologna Viale Giuseppe Fanin, 40 I-40127 Bologna Italy Phone: +39-051-209-6204 Fax: +39-051-209-6203 "Fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza" Dante Alighieri - Inferno - Canto XXVI "Ihr seid bestimmt, nicht Tieren gleich zu leben, Nein, Tugend zu erringen und Erkenntnis" "Ye were not form'd to live the life of brutes, But virtue to pursue and knowledge high"

Have you read this page? http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/IfeffitOnMacintosh It seems to me that you have not followed the very first instruction on that page -- the one about installing X11 from the "extra stuff" disk or from the Apple web site. My standard caveat: I do not own a Mac computer. I have no personal knowledge of the Mac -- all I know is what others have written on the Ifeffit wiki.

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 )).

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.
