[ncl-install] nacrg on Mac OS X Lion

Mon Sep 19 15:20:24 MDT 2011

I downloaded the file. I typed "idt gmetad.300" and it opened up. I am using OSX 10.7 (Lion).
I am using the latest ncl binary compile with gcc/gfortran but I am using intel(ifort/icc) compilers by default.

If I don't want to move everything (bin, include, library etc) to the
system directory /usr/local, what should I do to tell ncar use the
Macport compilers and libraries? Do I need to manually edit scripts
ncargf90 and ncargcc?

Go to /opt/local/bin and create a symbolic link within the directory
ln -sf gcc-mp-4.5 gcc
and
ln -sf  gfortran-mp-4.5 gfortran

If /opt/local/bin is not the fist thing in your PATH, then create a .bashrc (.cshrc) file that makes this so whenever you need to use gcc/gfortran 4.5.

Thanks for providing the file. I was able to view it just fine under my Snow Leopard Mac, but that was expected.

I don't have a Lion system, but I've sent the file to someone who does to see if they have the same problem.

It does sound like an X server issue.

If anybody else has a Mac Lion system could they try the same thing that JunJun did, and let me know if you have a problem or not?

Thanks,

Hi Mary,

Attached is a multi-picture file a user forwarded to me. When I load it into idt and hit animate button I get

mac_ idt gmetad.300
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request:  73 (X_GetImage)
Serial number of failed request:  435
Current serial number in output stream:  435

If I use my Linux box to "ssh -Y" to his Mac OS X Lion, I can do the "animate" properly though.

Junjun,

Can you be more specific by what you mean by the "animate" function?  What exactly are you running that causes the crash?
Also, do you get any kind of warnings or errors?

The "animate" function of the pre-compiled binary of ncar on Mac OS X
Lion crashes. I don't know if it is a X11 library computability problem
or something missing in the installation.

Reading instruction and notes for Mac at
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/macosx.shtml I see a line:

"If it echoes "10.7.x", then you should be able to use the above binary,
but you may also need to install "gfortran" via MacPorts:
sudo port install gcc45 +gfortran"

So I suspected I have to use MacPort gcc and gfortran. However, the
installed the installed gcc and gfortran are located under
/opt/local/bin and named gcc-mp-4.5 and gfortran-mp-4.5 receptively.

If I don't want to move everything (bin, include, library etc) to the
system directory /usr/local, what should I do to tell ncar use the
Macport compilers and libraries? Do I need to manually edit scripts
ncargf90 and ncargcc?
