Installation - Mac

The Mac version is less well tested, and should be considered a beta version. Any problems are, however, likely to affect the user interface only, rather than the calculations. I have also had reports of success running the Windows version on emulators for the Mac; speed is only likely to be an issue for the larger calculations (asymmetric tops, for example).

The website has an executable (pgopher-darwin) compiled on OS X Panther (10.3.9). It runs under the X, so you need to make sure the X11 User package is installed. It also requires some libraries, which are best installed using Fink. The fink website (http://fink.sourceforge.net) has detailed instructions for installation - the binary distribution should be adequate. The libraries that may need installing include:
If the binary does not run on your system you may need to compile from source, or email help-pgopher@bristol.ac.uk.

The Help menu entries do not do anything at the moment, but the help files are available at http://pgopher.chm.bris.ac.uk/Help and a zip file containing the current help files can be downloaded from the website.
