Installing Fink Cernlib And G77 For Mac Os


    This MIDAS version has been compiled on 10.6.8, and just untarred on 10.8.
    It works, but you will need some older libraries to go with it, besidesthe XMotif libraries which come free from fink.
    The libXm.2.dylib which will unpack in libXm/lib must be placed in /sw/lib/
    The other libraries must be placed in /sw/lib/gcc4.4/lib
    Needless to say, you also will need gfortran and Xcode command line toolinstalled.
    Another important thing is that you will have to download the source file forthe calibration files
    (MIND to get the correct version), and follow the installation instructions.
    If you use the darwin.calib.tar.gz, MIDAS will notbe able to read the tbl files, as they come from an older version.

    NEW as of 2014-10-15

    MIDAS seems to compile on Mavericks IF:
    you install gcc-4 from Fink
    you install Motif from Fink
    set: MOTIF_LIBPATH=-L/sw/lib in $MIDASHOME/$MIDVERS/local/make_options.
    The last two steps are necessary to have a working GUI.

    Gasgano 1.5.1 for Mac OS X.
    For the documentation, please look here

    For newer Macs, just download the software from the ESO web page;
    as gasganois a java based applications, the only thing it needs to work is an up-to-date
    java installation (checked and verified on 10.4.x, 10.5.x and 10.6.8).
    If you are planning to use any ESO pipeline, gasgano and esorexwill come in the same package.




    FAQs & c.: always comehandy

    Heavy PDF to shrink?
    PDF files created by other applications are sometimes very heavy. Toreduce them to a more civilized size:
    - Open the file in Preview
    - File > Save As
    - Reduce File Size as the Quartz Filter Option* and click Save.
    Nota bene: if you do not set any filter, the quality of the output filewill be quite poor. To create a custom filter, follow thislink Color X terminal?
    Here you can find an handy list of the Xterm Colors. Enabling ftp on Lion/Mountain Lion?
    Here thereis the instruction how to enable/disable ftp server and a good list of follow up. X11 libraries not found?
    A good fix is given here andhere
    Watch out for the mistaken lower case l in the first link. Is there another X11 with fullscreen support?
    Yes, it's named XDarwin and it can be downloaded
    for free at XDarwin officialwebsite
    Hower be aware that, starting with 10.3 (Panther), Apple
    X11 is fully integrated with Mac OS, so you might
    want to think about before adding another X window system
    How about Fink?
    Apple now has released what seems to be a better approach: it is called

    Darwinports and it's available for free from the Apple web site


    I don't want Fink! I hate it!
    Ok, in this case the only option is to try the Darwin ports (see above), orto
    browse the network for the applications you need. To my knowledge Tex and
    emacsare reasonably easy to find, e-mail me for other stand-alone applications
    you'd like listed here.


    How can I connect on VPN?
    Either you use the built-in VPN connection
    window within the Internet connect application
    or, if this doesn't work, you might need to use
    the CISCO VPN client.
    Instructions how to use it and software downloading
    available here
    Watch out:if you have OS 10.4.x and you are connecting from a modem, you
    might get an 'Error 51', claiming that VPN cannot detect any valid IP
    to connect, even if you are already connected to the net.
    This is a known bug in 10.4.x and the simplest workaround so far is:
    - quit VPN;
    - from terminal type: sudo SystemStarterrestart CiscoVPN
    this will restart the VPN kernel
    - restart VPN.


    Does Skycat works on Mac?
    Not yet and it never will, if you have OS X up to 10.3.9; however jsky,
    the java equivalent does. In case you don't know the
    java graphic libraries
    needed by jsky up to version 2.0 must go in the directory:
    System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Home/lib/ext
    Newer OS versions carry everything with them.
    Starting with Tiger, Skycat works well on Mac and you don't need to jskyany longer.
    The STARLINK team had managed to have the Gaia software running standalone

    on the OS X, from 10.2 onward. It doesn't visualize MEF files (at least Idid not manage

    to), but otherwise it has all the functionalities of the SkyCatGaia.
    Finally, if you are a OSX 10.4.x user, you *can* have a working Skycat, byclicking here
    Do ESO released pipelines work on Mac?
    I tested this on 10.4.x ONLY and the answer is yes, at least for the FORSesand CRIRES pipeline.
    Go here and download the file you want.Unpack it and get into the main directory; then, from an xtermjust type:
    ./install_pipeline
    and follow the instructions.
    The first time you run it, the standard installation will alsoinstall for you gasgano and esorex;
    for additional pipelines onlythe related instrument software should be installed (I hope).
    If you want more details....READ the manuals.
    May 2012: the new Macs (64 bits, 10.6.8 and onward, java 1.6) will behave in a peculiar way
    if you try to compile the pipeline under csh (c shell).
    To make it work (tested on SINFONI only):
    bash
    export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home
    ./install pipeline
    follow the instructions at the end of the installation to set
    properly the gasgano/esorex paths and the environment variables
    (setenv in csh, export in bash).
    Does IDL works on Mac?
    Yes, you can use the ESO floating license for Linux.
    To do so, download the last IDL (6.0) version
    from the CREASO
    web site, then place in your .cshrc (or .bashrc)
    file the line:
    setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE1995@lserv1:1995@lserv2:1995@lserv3
    which are the Garching servers running the license
    (otherwise you have to place you own nameserver)
    Hint for ESO people: if the name doesn't work, use the IP
    address (not on web for obvious reasons).

    Newer (6.2 and onward) versions of IDL have their own license

    file in the installation directory; a cleaner way is to set-up the

    license machine there.


    Does xephem works on Mac?
    Yes, just download it from Apple web site (from Mac OS 10.2.1 onward)


    Does p2pp

    works on Mac?
    Yes, it does. To make it work, edit
    the p2pp file in P2PP$HOME/bin and write the line:
    # Set system-dependant options
    #----------------------------------------
    OS=Darwin
    From p2pp v2.9 onward just install the software: the OS X is recognized atonce.


    Does the NACOjnps software work on my Mac?
    Yes, it does. To make it work, you have to manually type
    the directory path of your java installation, otherwise the
    software will look in the wrong one.


    Does FIMS software work on my Mac?
    In principle yes. Except that you will need to fool around themake_install script;
    since this is not officially supported byESO no further hints are given.
    Same applies for FPOSS.
    No clue how VMMPS will behave; if you managed, please let me know.


    What other science software can work onMac?
    Basically most of the commonly used packages
    work without problems on MacOSX.
    For a complete list of which I am aware so far,
    please refer to the scisoftcollection for MacOSX.
    Just as additional info, MIDAS compiles from source code
    without problems on the Mac, including the GUIs.
    This holds also for the 64bit version, provided you download the latest 2011 version.
    WARNING! If you plan to use scisoft on Leopard, please make sure thatyou have installed
    Leopard with case insensitive option, otherwisethe scisoft set-up paths will be screwed up
    (may be fixed in laterversions, check on scisoft website).
    If you don't care about the scisoft collection and are an IRAF fan,

    I'd suggest you have a look at the IRAF on Mac page


    Setting up a cell phone as USB/Bluetoothmodem on Mac?
    Yes, possible. ESO VPN won't work (at least I did not manage) with bluetoothconnection,
    but you will have a reasonably fast network.
    If you are using bluetooth connection, remember to set the telephone in visible mode.
    Check these links for instructions:
    useful modem scripts
    Call phoneand Mac configuration instructions
    specific RAZR V3 instructions
    No need to buy the motorola phonetools to connect, the Mac does a good job by itself.

    If you are in Italy, the Wind dmg file ready to install does a reasonably goodjob by itself,
    in case you don't want to bother with set-ups.
    Just remember to ask Wind the instructions to enable the connection.
    Tried with TIM and gave up the same day.

Installing Fink Cernlib And G77 For MacInstalling

I am also trying to install Fortran 77 compiler. I have 10.4 intel Mac. I installed fink then fort77 but when I run #fort77 test.f Can't exec 'cc': No such file or directory at /sw/bin/fort77 line 392. /sw/bin/fort77: aborting compilation when I try to install g77 it gives: #sudo fink install g77 could not determine XFree86 version number. There is an impressive number of applications you can install via fink. Fink was designed carefully as to not disturb or modify the system. It can be uninstalled with a single command 'sudo rm -r /sw' You definitely want f77, imagemagick, ghostscript for X, ispell, xdvi, and gimp if you want to edit graphics or xv to preview them. $ fink configure. In which you must select the use of the 'unstable' branch of packages in order to get access to numpy, etc. This is not sketchy in the way that it sounds! Then run $ fink selfupdate. Which may take a LONG time to complete. Then run $ fink index $ fink scanpackages $ fink install scipy-py26 $ fink install matplotlib-py26 $ fink.

Installing Fink Cernlib And G77 For Macbook Pro

  1. Notice that as of CERNLIB v.2001, lapack routines have been removed from mathlib. One thus needs to install the lapack and blas libraries as indicated above. My gfortran-related changes have been sent to a CERNLIB maintainer and adopted in CERNLIB v.2006 so the building of CERNLIB on MacOS X is now fairly straightforward. 0 Preparation.
  2. CERNLIB, Dis45, and TDR on MacOS X Of course, you need to install X11 beforehand. Preparation: lapack. Notice that as of CERNLIB v.2001, lapack routines have been removed from mathlib.
