HippoDraw CommentaryMore on installation of 1.15.6.2 - Version: 1.15.6.2, 12/10/2005 12:38PM PST

WoodDMW
The .pkg installs files in /usr/local.
Warning: My /usr/local is a symbolic link to a directory on an external disk, and this link gets blown away by the installer! (It is *just* a link, so no permanent damage done.)

As much as I would like to use HippoDraw, its set of dependencies is offputting, so I'm going to wait for a while before trying a later version.

I tried briefly to build from source but gave up after the fink-installed boost libraries were not acceptable (AFAIK) to configure, even when I passed
--with-boost-lib= and --with-boost-libname= to the configure script.

I suspect that those willing to go to these lengths are already using fink, so more support for fink-installed tools would be much appreciated.

HippoDraw CommentaryProblem with this installation - Version: 1.14.3, 6/3/2005 11:24AM PST

Seems that this was compiled with a hardcoded link that should have been fixed. When I try to launch it, I get this error:

dyld: /Applications/HippoDraw1.14.3/hippodraw.app/Contents/MacOS/hippodraw can't open library: /Users/rdm/root/lib/libCore.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Since I don't have a user named rdm on my machine, my guess is that that is the username for the person who compiled this package.

HippoDraw Usage TipAdditional HippoDraw 1.14.3 installer for MacOSX - Version: 1.14.3, 6/1/2005 02:31PM PST

slartibart
gentle persons,

if you have already an existing ROOT 4 installation on your computer, you can download a smaller binary installer of HippoDraw 1.14.3 (incl. just the python module, boost-, cfitsio- and minuit-libs) via http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/HippoDraw1143pymod-Installer.pkg.zip (38.5Mb).

PLEASE READ THE INCLUDED README FOR FURTHER INFORMATIONS!

I have been waiting for this old NeXTStep application to appear on OS X. I just wish it were a self contained App. One thing missing is that is doesn't provide services. In the NeXTStep version, one could select a data column in a Terminal (or any text) window and send it to HippoDraw for a quick histogram. Other than that and a few minor bugs, great job! All I need now is SciPlot.
