There are two alternative 32-bit compiled Mac OSX executables of the May2013 update: ddlabx11_macPB32 compiled on OSX 10.4.11 PowerPC G4 PowerBook (2005) ddlabx11_macML32 compiled on OSX 10.8.2 Intel Mountain Lion (2013) They are incompatible; please use the executable that matches your Mac. For other Mac processors (i.e. Motorola) or for a 64-bit version, you will need to recompile from the source code and Makefile provided in www.ddlab.org. Run from a terminal in X11, which must be installed. ddlabx11_macPB32.tar.gz ddlabx11_macML32.tar.gz ... will unpack to give the executable and this readme. To run DDLab, from a terminal in X11, from the directory with the DDLab files, enter the name of the executable preceded by ./ and followed by & ./ddlabx11_macML32 & Alternatively, first change directory to "ddfiles" then enter the name of the executable preceded by ../ and followed by & This will keep files generated by DDLab in the ddfiles subdirectory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
