updating the faq with OSX-specific information
Hi folks, The last email got me thinking about the documentation for the various installers and updaters and such. I would like to ask one of the OSX users on the list to create a new FAQ entry in section 2 explaining how to update Athena and Artemis from source code once Ifeffit has been installed from the OSX disk image. (That is, I'd like an expert OSX user to walk the novice OSX user through the process of building from source and using sudo to install the newly built code.) Similarly, section 2 needs an entry explaining how the unix updater works. I plan to write that in the coming days. A section 2 entry from Carlo or one of the other debian users would probably be a good idea as well.

Bruce, I have followed closely the instructions given to me by Matt. If Matt and you agree I can write the instructions for the OSX users. I am saying this even though I am not experienced. I only know that now things work properly for me. Maybe I can write a sort of document and mail it to you and Matt, and then you filter it and we can make it public. How does it sound?

Or, even better, add an entry to the FAQ and then the other OSX users can read it and modify it as needed. That's the point of using a wiki for the FAQ.

Bruce, I believe that for Unix (linux, including debian, and Mac OS X) systems that have a working Ifeffit + horae, and a working fortran compiler, that updating Artemis and Athena would simply be ~> sudo horae_update Is that not so? --Matt
Sorry to join late, but that is all I type here for an automatic update now. p.s. I would be happy to help out too. On 2004/07/01, at 11:45, Matt Newville wrote:

I will take a look at the windows faq and see if I can write something similar for the Mac (including the bits about how to get a working fortran compiler). I don't suppose any of us have tried another fortran compiler besides gcc, right (specifically I was thinking of xlf). Paul
OK. I think Paul is a much better source of info. If I see something that I can add, I will.

That's exactly what I do on our Red Hat 7.3 systems and on my Mac (OS X 10.3.4). Last update to horae-0.36 worked without any problems for both! Cheers, Markus On Jul 1, 2004, at 4:45, Matt Newville wrote:

I have been brave (some would say foolish) as to be the first person to add some Mac OS X specific FAQ entries. Comments anyone (I am sure they can be better but it is a start!). Paul
