[Ifeffit] Mac OS X Mountain Lion iXAFS

[Paul Fons]

The problem I suspect stems from the internal script of iXAFS calling the package X11 instead of the new name XQuartz.  The fix would be either to modify the source code to use either or you may be able to make an Mac OS X alias to the X11 application (either this or a Unix alias should work).  I have yet to install mountain lion myself yet, so I cannot verify this.  It would be arguably best to change the source code to use either X11 or XQuartz if present I think.  Is this something you can do Matt?


Cheers,

They instead have moved to XQuartz http://xquartz.macosforge.org. I downloaded the new XQuartz to my computer and obviously still cannot access iXAFS. I was wondering if someone could offer some advice for me so that I can still run iXAFS on my macbook (Macbook pro OS X version 10.8, 2.3 GHz intel core i5).
