Installing genius under Mac OS X -------------------------------- (from Linc Davis) These instructions assume that you know what Fink is and have installed it in the default directory /sw. The Fink package 'gmp' must be installed, and its build directory is needed. In an admin account, run sudo cp /sw/etc/fink.conf /sw/etc/fink.conf.bak sudo pico /sw/etc/fink.conf and look for the following line: KeepBuildDir: false Change this to KeepBuildDir: true If the line is not present, add it. Now run either fink install gmp or fink rebuild gmp Download the latest tarball of the MPFR library from www.mpfr.org and expand it. In the mpfr directory, run GMPBUILD=/sw/src/gmp-4.1.2-11/gmp-4.1.2 ./configure --with-gmp-include=$GMPBUILD --with-gmp-lib=/sw/lib make make check sudo make install Here the version number of gmp may need to be changed to whatever is current. The files will be installed under /usr/local, not /sw. Optionally, add /usr/local/info to your INFOPATH. To build genius with the optional Gnome front end, in addition to a full Gnome binary installation you need the following Fink developer packages: gconf2-dev glib2-dev gnome-vfs2-dev or gnome-vfs2-ssl-dev gtksourceview-dev libart2 libbonobo2-dev libbonoboui2-dev libgnome-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeprint2.2-dev libgnomeui-dev pango1-xft2-dev vte-dev In the genius directory, run ./configure CFLAGS=-L/sw/lib make sudo make install Add /usr/local/bin to your PATH if you haven't already done so (it's not there by default.) Finally, restore the fink.conf file: sudo mv -f /sw/etc/fink.conf.bak /sw/etc/fink.conf
