hi everybody to find out what could be Philipp's problem (and to get PMX back to life after a system upgrade from Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.6) I tried to install the intel386 version for MacOS provided on the WIMA page ... and failed
1st attempt, run the binary pmxab: the compiled pmxab relies on a dynamically linked library called libgfortran.3.dylib which is supposed to be in the directory /usr/local/gfortran/lib/ which is of course not there. > pmxab dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/gfortran/lib/libgfortran.3.dylib Referenced from: /Users/bernhard/temp/pmx/pmx2521-OSX-Intel/./pmxab Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap 2nd attempt, recompile the source pmxab.c: it relies on the package f2c being installed which isn't there either 3rd attempt, install f2c from fink: local problem, after reinstalling fink, f2c provided by fink runs now, but the package doesn't provide the necessary library libf2c or similar 4th attempt, install f2c from sources: what you get at http://netlib.org/f2c/ is a collection of files which have to be downloaded one by one, compiling yields binaries in the a.out form. Linking stops with a 32bit/64bit mix-up. other possible attempts: install a fortran compiler or recompile gcc as to include th fortran front end, no time to do that now At the bottom line, this doesn't look very helpful or encouraging. We should probably better provide statically linked binaries which cary the necessary libraries already with them and depend only on the Darwin interface of the operating system version compiled against. all best Bernhard ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
