Re: Re: still grappling with ISIS

Hi Daryl-

I've been traveling, with limited internet access, so I might have missed pieces of this thread.  But I saw a few things that caught my eye.  But here are some general comments.

1) I have given up on 32bit builds, as much as possible, on Apple.  This means doing two builds of HEASOFT.  One that has everything and is 32bit, and one that is XSPEC only 64bit.  That's my banket recommendation these days.  The HEASOFT folks have a world of pain waiting for them on  Apples, and they really just need to bite the bullet, and get it 64bit once and for all.
2) To get the 64bit XSPEC, download HEASOFT with XSPEC only, and then delete the heagen directory, then build without any of the -m32 or -m64 options on the compilers.  I also make sure to have as few paths defined as possible, so as not to pick up random things from Macports or Fink.  I pretty much grab X11 & gcc stuff from /usr/bin, gfortran from usr/bin/local, and then build from there.
3) I have been unable to build readline 6.2 on its own, and instead just use the one in HEASOFT.  But if the patches you refer to are more recent than ~Aug. 31, then maybe you had more luck.  Or if you grabbed patches from the HEASOFT folk.  (The readline 6.2 config files looked to have not been updated in about 2 years last I looked late August, and I only had successfully reproduced  about half the patches that the HEASOFT folks added.)
4) I have all the versions of libraries that you mention below, except my libpng-1.6.3.  I build all of them 64bit.  However, I think I was Xcode 4.6, and I haven't tried Xcode 5.0, which was what, two weeks ago?  So, I can't comment about what differences that make.
5)  My overall build strategy is:  XSPEC 64bit, S-lang 64bit, ISIS 64bit using pgplot and readline from XSPEC.

Anyhow, maybe if you can give me a summary of what you did from the beginning, I can offer more help.  

Cheers,

Mike
