Hi
It looks as if you are trying to run Mosflm as a Mac application (or
".app", for the cognoscenti); the short answer is that it isn't one,
and that you run it as an X11 command-line program. You can't double
click the icon to run it even if you associate it with an application
like xterm.
If there is demand for an OS X (i.e. something that you double click
the icon to run) I can supply one - I looked at this a couple of
years ago and have a working model that includes iMosflm, but there
are one or two outstanding ideosyncrasies that might confuse the
naive user!

Hi there! Real noobie question here- I am hoping someone can help me.
I have been trying to download and install MOSFLM from the pre-
built versions here:
http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/mosflm/ver703/pre-built/index.html
Specifically, I am trying to install the "Universal" version for
OSX (although I have also tried the OSX 10.4 version for Intel). It
downloads as a document, and unzips just fine. But it refuses to
run- I get an error: "There is no default application specified to
open the document "mosflm_osx_10.4_intel" for that version. For the
Universal version, nothing happens- I double click the unzipped
file, and nothing happens.
I've also tried Fink, and I get a bunch of stuff that ends in:
./build
* CCP4 appears to have been set up properly - checking libraries
You must install CCP4 version 5 (or later) - Mosflm no longer
builds with
CCP4 version 4 or earlier.
cd bin
mv ipmosflm ipmosflm-701

I'm running Leopard on a MacBook with plenty of RAM. Any
suggestions as to what to try?
