Re: [Ifeffit] New release (061) of my codes -- Macintosh 10.4 binary installer
Stefano, You don't need a a file named libpglot.a. The application ifeffit statically includes the pgplot library. If you were to build a new Ifeffit application (including building the base perl module, which horae's build does), it would look in the file /Applications/Ifeffit/share/ifeffit/config/Config.mak and see that it should build with 'libpgplot_iff.a' in the directory '/Applications/Ifeffit/pgplot'. And it should work. The result you sent from otool definitely makes it look like your installation is broken. It also seems to use Aquaterm, which is strange. Paul, is there any chance that Aquaterm is looking for a dynamic pgplot library? Stefano, you did delete all the Ifeffit installation receipts in '/Library/Receipts' and installed the binary package, right?
Can anyone else confirm / deny if the installer works on OS X 10.4?
maybe I am the only one using it? :-)
I sort of doubt that, but it would be more convenient if we didn't have to support it. --Matt
Aquaterm is still in there, as it is buried in the build scripts for both ifeffit and horae. Some symbols are referenced hence if the aquaterm library is not there, there are problems (as I recall). My temporary solution was just to include it as the aquaterm library was small. My long term plan was to bring aquaterm back to life on the mac at least as I think it has some advantages (it saves pdf natively and buffers so is resizable). The key point here would seem to be that the Ifeffit.bundle is not the one that is included with the horae61 mac binary installer. Paul On Apr 7, 2006, at 3:01 PM, Matt Newville wrote:

Hi Paul, Thanks -- I guess that aquaterm does not _depend_ on pgplot anyway, so my earlier concern (that aquaterm was somewhat the cause of the dependency on libpgplot.dylib) doesn't make sense. Anyway, I agree that using the Aquaterm terminal could be a better option. I didn't have a lot of success with distributing / maintaining it (and the X11 dependency is there anyway), but if you have it working, that's great. --Matt
