Scisoft and Case Sensitive file systems - Version: 2008.9.1, 9/30/2008 01:41AM PST

First I am impressed by the effort that is put into following up close ESO scisoft releases and its porting to Macs. Making it even more Apple-like by installing in the App. structure is a great idea. It allows a better management of the Mac files.

BUT: it seems this new versions has some teething issues:

1- this new version won't install properly on a *case sensitive formatted file system*. The App. folder structure includes folder's names with upper and lower cases, which are not mirrored in the installation/Setup scripts,
E.g. for midas and iraf, the path are given ALL in lower cases will the real path need to be set with upper cases.

2- Some symbolic links follow a path that is incorrect (irespective of Upper/Lower case issue).

python repeatedly producing 'gmon.out' file - Version: 2007.7.1, 9/4/2007 11:22AM PST

Thank you for compiling a new version of SciSoft for the Max OSX. With the latest version I am noticing that anytime I run a python program (even a simple "Hello World" program) a 3+MB file called 'gmon.out' appears in my current working directory. A quick web search revealed that this file is used for testing during the compiling stage. Is there an easy way to disable this function/feature?

Skycat - Version: 2006.1.2, 2/7/2006 12:14PM PST

I have downloaded the latest version (2006.1.2) of scisoft
MACOS X which advertize Skycat but I cannot find it on
my system. It is not in the scisoft area.

There is a "Skycalc" program but it is quite different
than Skycat.

Best regards and thanks for the MACOS X scisoft, it is
great!
