IAMDORIAN It is ridiculous to give a developer especially on who has moved their application over to the Mac, at their own expense, for FREE a 1-star review because they didn't make installation automatic. Perhaps a point off for this is perhaps reasonable, but come on . . . !

Let me the first to apologize for SOME Mac users, who apparently think that developers should all work for free. I seriously doubt that this user is a seasoned professional. Some of us do truly appreciate all those who attempt to port for Mac. It is certainly nice to have self-installing .DMGs, and nice Mac-like icons, but too much emphasis is placed on this when reviews in MU should focus on all the technical issues, and to vote according to balanced criteria. When an application is truly a free app, as this appears to be, then reviews should also take this into consideration.

I would give this 4-stars for effort, but have not yet installed it, because I am a typical lazy Mac user and am used to auto-install features. But, at least I am willing to admit my biases. : )

Thanks for the port. Will examine this more closely asap.

THZS How to install: unpack the ZIP file (Safari does this automatically, I think), copy/move scidavis.app (a so called application bundle) to your application folder. Done. If it does not run, you probably don't have the necessary libraries installed.

Next time you have a question, please ask in the SciDAVis forums (follow the "More Information" link) instead of writing a one star review.

ASDFASD I would be quite happy to give you a 5 star review if I had discovered how to install your app!

In the description you just mention that GNU Scientific Library (GSL) it's needed. But no link is given!

I think it would be useful to have some installation instructions specific for Mac Os X in the downloaded zip file.

Has you may see I am quite newby on this "not-at-all-like-mac" applications (naalmac).

For me this application "dies on the beach" even before it's installation, that is way I gave it a 1 star.

YHL Hi,

The GSL could be found at: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.11.tar.gz. The latest one is 1.11. It is also the one I used to build SciDavis.

After downloading and extracting all files, all you need to do is

(1) open terminal

(2) change to the root directory of GSL files by typing "cd xxx/gsl-1.11". xxx just means the directory hosting GSL files. If it is correctly executed, you should be brought to the root directory of GSL files.

(3) type "./configure" to configuring GSL compiling environment

(4) If no error, type "sudo make" and a password prompt should appear. After entering your administration password, the compiling process will begin, and you will see lots of messages filling your terminal.

(5) If the compiling ends without error, type "sudo make install" and the installation will be carried.

(6) That is done after the command prompt appears again.

(7) If you got some troubles and would like to restart the process, just type "sudo make clean" to clean all temp files. If you want to uninstall GSL, just type "sudo make uninstall"

Hope this help.
