Dear All

the missing libifcore.dylib "found" by Derek, is indeed missing from the ccp4 binary distribution of mactel. This affects xplot84driver, xloggraph and xccpjiffy2idraw only.

The problem with the .plt files has been traced to a lseek/rewind not working correctly. This has been worked around by lowering the optimization level to -O0 for xplot84driver compiled using the intel compilers (both 9.1 and 10) on OS X.

Replacement versions of these files are available at ftp:// ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/6.0.2/patches/xplot84-mactel.tar.gz (all in ccp4-6.0.2/bin) . The .dmg of the suite has also been updated. These binaries are statically linked against libifcore.

Hi,

I've installed CCP4 on an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.10 using the binary installer from the automatic download page. Everything works fine and dandy except xplot84driver. This currently means I have to convert every plot file on the command line using pltdev then use Preview to view the PS as PDF, rather than just using the CCP4i pulldown menu.

Initially xplot84driver complains that libifcore.dylib is missing. This appears to be an Intel compiler-specific library which I just happen to have in /opt/intel/fc/9.1.024/lib, as I once evaluated the beta release of the compiler. If I copy this to $CCPLIB or link from there to it, it complains that it doesn't have libifm.dylib, which in turn complains that it doesn't have libirc.dylib. Finally when all these libraries are linked to and loaded, xplot84driver complains about "Bad plot84 file format" and does not open the plot file. Does anyone have an idea what is going on?
