Re: Re: ISIS installing on MAC OS X 10.8.4

Dear John and Mike,

I followed John's suggestion to revise the Makefile in the pgplot modules and isis could run now.
But when I input require ("xspec");, an error linking information was resulted.
 isis> plot(1,1);  is ok.

I also checked xspec following Mike's suggestions. It works very well.
Thank you for your immediate help.
Jingzhi
