Hello Jerel,<br>
<br>
The McStas compiler itself only requires a C compiler to work, e.g. gcc
on Mac OS X.<br>
Then perl is also required, with perl-Tk extension for the User
Interface, and Scilab as the default plotter.<br>
Optionally, pgplot related stuff may be installed, and Matlab if you
have a license (expensive).<br>
All GUI and optional stuff require an X server. This latter must be
launched for McGUI to run.<br>
<br>
The required fink package names are thus:<br>
gcc<br>
perl5*<br>
tk-pm5* (perl-Tk)<br>
scilab<br>
<br>
Optional packages are as well:<br>
pdl5* (perl-DL)<br>
pgplot<br>
pgplot-perl (perl-PGPLOT)<br>
<br>
I hope this can help. Mac OS users at the ILL could install and run
McStas package, for sure !<br>
Emmanuel.<br>

<br>
I see on the McStas web site, you’ve build and tested McStas on OS X to
some extent. I am interested in running it on my Mac and would
appreciate any information or comments you have on doing this.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Jerel<br>
