Re: mpich2 and python
Hi Joerg, MPICH2 uses python fairly extensively (the mpirun and mpiexec executables are actually just python scripts, as are mpd/mpdboot). Those developers tend to hard-code the python version that they use into their execution since they know that works and will be free of any new bugs that may get introduced by new versions. That's the same reason a lot of OS vendors strap an old, stripped-out python distribution with their OS: their system python utilities work just fine with that version and they're hesitant to invest the time to ensure upwards compatibility (especially when Python makes a jump like 2.x -> 3.x). You should not change this to python2.7 because mpirun/mpiexec are unlikely to work, since the top line stays as: #!/usr/bin/env /opt/local/bin/python2.5 (I made the change in the Portfile just to make sure) MPI *stuff* are among the very few things I prefer to do myself (without MacPorts, although the python's I add mpi4py to are MP versions), since it allows me more flexibility. You can also install the OpenMPI variant of mpi4py and avoid this issue altogether. I tend to use OpenMPI for my Macs, anyway (though I like mpich2 better for my Linux boxes, for no special reason, I get similar performance out of both).

Perhaps variants could be added to mpich2 to let you select the desired python version.

mpich2 and python
I have recently come across a somewhat surprising issue: I installed py27-mpi4py which depends on mpich2 and python27. I was surprised to see that mpich2 itself depends on python25. Can someone explain to me why that should be the case? The same is true for py26-mpi4py. I have played around with the Portfile, replacing the references in mpich2 to python25 with python27 and it installs perfectly. I have not done any other tests, though. So the question is: is this dependency on python25 a necessity or can it be replaced with python2[67]?

Fwd: FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld & Missing Port 3306
Question [This question won't make sense until you read my previous email below.] As I said below, the alias files -- mysql_install_db5, mysql5_config, etc. -- were in /opt/local/bin/ before I moved them to trash. I found the original items for the aliases in /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/. These originals do not have the "5" as part of the file name. Should I add a "5" to the file names of the originals and determine if the setting up the main database commands at http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP#mysql will work? Begin forwarded message: From: David Gentry Date: January 7, 2011 2:39:52 PM CST To: Ryan Schmidt Cc: MacPorts Subject: Re: FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld & Missing Port 3306 Your guess makes sense to me: the FATAL ERROR came from script that I did not successfully uninstall. I ran "which mysql_install_db5" and the response was "/opt/local/bin/mysql_install_db5." The file and a lot of other mysql files were in that directory and they were alias files. I sent all of them to trash. Then I returned to the web page you referred me to: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP#mysql. I ran the following commands as instructed to "set up the main database." I separated the commands by semicolons. sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5 sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/ sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/log/mysql5/ The response was: "sudo: mysql_install_db5: command not found." Then I ran the same four commands separated by "&". I got the same result. Then I ran the first command alone. I got the same result. Then I ran the following three commands as advised, "If that doesn't work try this": sudo mysql_install_db5 sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/ The result was the same: "sudo: mysql_install_db5: command not found." Then I searched for "mysql_install_db5." I found two Portfiles at the following locations: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/databases/mysql5-server-devel/Portfile /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/databases/mysql5-server/Portfile Then I ran "which mysql_install_db5" and the result was to return me to the command prompt. Background: A couple of days ago, when I tried to uninstall all disk image copies of MySQL, I also uninstalled MacPorts' "mysql5" and "mysql5-server." Then I installed the ports. I got no error messages. Then I ran "port selfupdate" and I did not get any error messages. What does this information tell you?

Only the latest development version gcc port (currently gcc46) has a +gfortran (and a +java) variant. The maintainer of the gcc ports explained to me that gcc's java support (and perhaps its fortran support) frequently broke during the development versions, and he did not want to hold up the release of a new version of the port for that reason alone. By the time a version of gcc became stable, its java and fortran support would be stable as well, so the maintainer permanently enables it at that time. If your gcc45 port does in fact still have +gfortran and +java variants, then your port definitions are out of date; use "sudo port selfupdate" to update them, then "port outdated" to see which ports are outdated and in need of updating. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

Re: FORTRAN for Snow Leopard?
Hello, I use Fortran extensively on my Mac for my work (scientific computing -- all applications are written in Fortran). I have tried both of the methods that you have below, but I've had problems with all of them. The problem with installing just gfortran through binaries is that they're typically incompatible with the Xcode GCC compiler (they're different versions of GCC), so it's far more difficult to link C- and Fortran- object files. If you do find one that's compatible with the Xcode GCC, then that means you're using GCC 4.2, which is quite old. gfortran from that era is not yet stable and reliable, especially for legacy F77. IMO, the best approach is actually provided by MacPorts. Just install an updated GCC with the +gfortran variant. sudo port -v install gcc45 +gfortran (this may take a little while) Then you can install gcc_select to help manage different versions of the GCC compiler (i.e. the xcode version and the MacPorts version, or multiple MacPorts versions if you install gcc44, gcc43, gcc46, etc.) sudo port -v install gcc_select (this should be fast) To use gcc_select, do the following gcc_select -l (lists all of the available versions) sudo gcc_select mp-gcc45 (selects the GCC 4.5 installed with MacPorts) Hope this helps, Jason On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 8:49 AM, Marcelo Chiapparini < marcelo.chiappar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi! > > I need to run FORTRAN in my iMac with OSX 10.6 installed.

FORTRAN for Snow Leopard?
Hi! I need to run FORTRAN in my iMac with OSX 10.6 installed. I've done some research, but the results are not conclusive: http://www.webmo.net/support/fortran_osx.html http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries http://r.research.att.com/tools/ I am not sure which method is the most convenient: to installing the FORTRAN binaries for Leopard or to installing the gfortran extension for Xcode... So, I would like very much to know about experiences from people already running FORTRAN in a Mac (if any!). Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

Re: Problems with gnuplot from marcports
Hi! I forgot that "man" is our friend, sorry for that... and thanks a lot for all the information regarding the open command.

On Snow Leopard, I opened TextEdit to create a new empty document, chose Print from the File menu, and told it to save as a PDF. I then used ImageMagick to convert it to a PNG as above. Both files, when opened in Preview, are white. I just did something similar and I got delegate errors. I probably need to recompile ImageMagic against the newer ghostscript. I have to move to a test machine, I have file uploads 24/7. We have received around 20 complaints from customers and using customer supplied files and changing ghostscript to previous version fixes this on my 10.5 ppc machine. -- Brad ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

(convert command line and a test file) I will start a trac ticket tomorrow. I don't own the upload files so I will have to create one to share and test with. If you want to test it just create a single page all white test.pdf file will probably do it. $ convert test.pdf test.png Has the functionality of ghostscript changed with @9.00_4? I think you should better check ghostscript's changelogs. I will look into this as well. For now reverting to the previous version of ghostscript causes my 1+ year upload processor to work as expected. -- Brad ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
