Dear Rob, There are a couple of steps you need to perform to prepare your computer's folder structure - in your case, it looks like /opt does not exist. Create it using
sudo mkdir /opt and set appropriate permissions using sudo chown -R <username> /opt (where <username> is your username, without brackets) before finally running SETUP72 as you had it. That should fix the issue. If you install MPICH2 for parallel NONMEM execution, I would be very interested in your experiences (as well as those of any others who've tried it). We have had some odd problems using it under Mac OS X (mainly, non-reproducible results with numerically complex models), although it seems to work fine under the Windows and Linux systems we tested with the same compiler (Intel Visual Fortran). We saw the issue with a range of different compiler switches.
