[Ifeffit] more Max OS X woes!

[Matt Newville]

Maurizio, Patrick, everyone,

It appears there are some serious problems getting the latest
'Ifeffit/Athena' running on Max OS X -- both 10.1 and 10.2. The
sympton is gettting messages like
  dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
  _pgarro_
  _pgask_

which means the Ifeffit perl module is no longer able to find the
PGPLOT library.  When this happens, older versions of athena are
also broken.  My guess is that this is related to the changes in
horae's Makefile.PL for horae-007, but I haven't looked into it
any further.

I believe the workaround is to go back to the Ifeffit source
distribution and reinstall the ifeffit perl module from there:
  cd ...../ifeffit_1.0b/wrappers/perl
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make install

and then back-tracking to horae-006.tar.gz:
  http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/packages/horae-006.tar.gz

At least, this worked on Patrick's laptop last week.
It might be enough to simply backtrack to horae-006.

Sorry for all the trouble,

--Matt
