Hi Jason, I tried what you said and the error occurs right at the beginning. Btw, shall we move this to the devel group?
I get the following error messages: uname: illegal option -- i usage: uname [-amnprsv] SACLIB Warning: Could not determine processor type! SACLIB Warning: Could not determine OS type! when executing bin/sconf, which calls mksysdep.pl, where the relevant lines are: ### Get architecture type $ptype = "unknown"; $uname = `uname -mpi`; if ($uname =~ /i\S*86/ or $uname =~ /x86_64/) { $ptype = "x86"; } elsif ($uname =~ /Sun|sun|SUN|Sparc|sparc|SPARC/) { $ptype = "sparc"; } else { print "SACLIB Warning: Could not determine processor type!\n"; } ### Get OS type $ostype = "unknown"; $uname = `uname -s`; if ($uname =~ /linux|Linux|LINUX/) { $ostype = "linux"; } elsif ($uname =~ /Sun|sun|SUN|solaris|Solaris/) { $ostype = "solaris"; } else { print "SACLIB Warning: Could not determine OS type!\n"; } Could mksysdep.pl be changed somehow to run on a mac?
