I posted about this last year, but as far as I am aware, the problem still exists when transferring a powerpoint file made on a Mac to a PC, so I thought it...
Curious to know whether there exist reports regarding everyone's favorite astro applications on the newer Intel-based macintoshes. X11? IRAF/ds9? IDL? ...

Hey, all. I recently went through heck getting sm (Super Mongo) working on OS 10.4.4 with gcc 4.0.2 and I wanted to share my experience just in case anyone...
Dear osxastro group, I need a laptop computer and I am pretty convinced that a mac is the way to go. However, I have not used a mac before and then they came...
My understanding is that IDL will not be avaliable on the new Intel platforms for a year at least. So if IDL is important you might consider the powerpc...

... This is an excellent question and will certainly help determine when the right time is to purchase an Intel Mac for doing astronomy. I just ordered a...
... I can only speak for CIAO, and even then only unofficially, but - given all that hand-waving - I can safely tell you that we don't yet have an official...
As far as I know (I haven't yet done any testing) most PPC applications will run on the intel in this Compatibility Mode that Apple calls Rosetta. We don't...
I can't speak for any of the aforementioned software packages, but there are plans here at the Joint Astronomy Centre to make a release of the Starlink ...
Dear osxastro group, I have recently upgraded to Tiger in my powerbook. When trying to install HEASOFT 6.0.4 from the source (in order to use local models in...

... I'm pretty sure the link error above can be fixed by adding "- lSystemStubs" to your link line. I'm not sure how to get the HEAsoft build system to do...
Thanks to all who replied to my question about Intel Macs and astro software. What I hear (correct me if I am wrong) is that eventually (within months or...

Hi all, Well looks like I will have to finally go from 10.3 to 10.4 as some software I have been using is now 10.4 only (due to java versions). So I imagine...

Hi Tyler, I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4 a few months ago and had no problems (well except for ssh and X11 where you want to use ssh -Y instead of ssh -X to get...
I also had no problems upgrading my desktop to Tiger. A few things moved around, and you'll also need to update your fink packages I think, but otherwise it...
Hey mate. I didn't have any problems except for a few bits of code that I have written that don't compile under gcc4.0. Fortunately, however, it preserves...

Lewis, My guess is that you are trying to run the wrong version of the aips+ + driver. Try using the one in /opt/local/bin and see if that works. If not, can...

Hi Tim, Aha! Your guess was right. I didn't realize there are two drivers. BTW, why is this? Anyway, CASA/AIP++ does launch now. Thanks. Cheers, Lewis ... Dr....
