Alexander Thanks. After a complaint about netcdf, that worked fine! Like this:
First: sudo dpkg -i /Updates-n-Downloads/netcdf-shlibs_3.6.0-1002_darwin- powerpc.deb then: sudo dpkg -i /Updates-n-Downloads/gmt_3.4.5-1002_darwin-powerpc.deb perl script that uses gmt ran OK but with error: pscoast: Error: No configuration file /sw/share/gmt/coastline.conf available! and output was plotted with no coastline map. How do I connect to the coastline? in /sw/share/gmt/ I have various binned_GHHS_'x'.cdf files plus border and river 'x'=c,i,l I have just added added high resolution binned_GHHS_'x'.nc files from gshhg-gmt-2.3.4.tar.gz x'=c,i,l and added f,h There is a gmt.conf file, which has 'IS' set in it. I am also guessing I don't have the right files for high resolution for my powerpc 10.4 gmt system. kind regards Mike On 15 Apr 2015, at 03:49, Alexander Hansen wrote: > >> On Apr 13, 2015, at 20:37, Mike moorhead >> <m...@gardinersfarm.org.uk> wrote: >> >> Just Installed Fink-0.8.1-PowerPC >> >> Tried to instal gmt package on PPC OS X 10.4: >> >> sudo fink install gmt >> Information about 1998 packages read in 2 seconds. >> The following package will be installed or updated: >> gmt >> The following additional package will be installed: >> netcdf-shlibs >> Do you want to continue?
