[ncl-install] 64-Bit Libraries on Mac OS X

[Mary Haley]

Hi Sean,

Which MacOS binary are you using? I think the MacOS 10.6 binary may be 32-bit because it was compiled on a 32-bit system.

If you are using the MacOS 10.7 binary, then it should be 64-bit.

Can you include the error message? It may simply be that the compiler needs help finding the 64-bit cairo libraries.

What does:

locate libcairo

report?

Once you find the file, which will be called something like "libcairo.dylib", you can run "file" on it to see if it's a 64-bit library:

% file /usr/X11/lib/libcairo.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libcairo.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/X11/lib/libcairo.dylib (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
/usr/X11/lib/libcairo.dylib (for architecture i386):	Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

In the above case, it looks like my cairo is both 32-bit and 64-bit.

The make output then says that it can't find a bunch of libraries related to cairo for x86_64 architecture.  I finally got it to compile using the binary for 6.0.  Is there any chance you guys created the Mac binary for 6.1.2 without specifying a 64 bit flag?
