[Ifeffit] Demeter OS X macports build failure

[Alison Tebo]

Hi Paul,

demeter-devel is the most current version of Demeter available via
Macports--you can always check by checking the port documentation itself.
Since Demeter is a front-end to ifeffit, the black windows have to do with
how Demeter renders on Macs and nothing to do with how up-to-date ifeffit
is (as far as I know). Ifeffit was the dependency (of demeter) with the
problem when called automatically by Macports, but updating that manually
won't also update your demeter front-end. If you have the most recent
ifeffit (now that you've updated it manually) and demeter-devel you should
have the most updated version of everything.

Best,
Alison
