[GEMPAK #ERO-473622]: installing Gempak5.10.2 binary for Mac OSX



> Hi Steve,
> Thank you for the clarification, we sourced the Gemenviron file (using
> tcsh shell).  When we launch ntl, we get the error message:
> 
> no such file or directory
> /usr/lib/libmx.a.dy.lib

Brett,

These are libraries provided with Darwin:

> ls -l libmx*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  343645 Oct  6  2006 libmx.A.dylib
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  360744 Dec 24  2005 libmx.A_debug.dylib
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  377128 Dec 24  2005 libmx.A_profile.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel      13 Apr  1  1976 libmx.dylib -> libmx.A.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   33368 Dec 24  2005 libmx_debug.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   33216 Dec 24  2005 libmx_profile.dylib

Our Darwin is version 8.8.0:
> uname -v
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0: Fri Sep  8 17:18:57 PDT 2006; 
root:xnu-792.12.6.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC

I know there are others running my binaries with more recent versions of 
OS-X/Darwin.

Check your installation.
