and now...Mac version for OS/X!

Thanks very much to Gary and Evan for the port. The 64-bit works fine with RMark on both OSX 10.8 and 10.9. I was able to get most of what I needed from the install overview page that I discovered before finding this forum. When I ran into errors, Jeff pointed me here and Arpat provided the solution. You might consider adding a short sentence to the install page to alert mac users of the dependency on gfortran, and maybe also a short sentence with a potentially redundant pointer to the support forum.

The 'install page' (as you refer to it) already does mention that Mac users might have to install gfortran. I guess I need to alert Mac users to actually read the install documentation.

... There is some chance that the libraries on your distribution may be in different locations than the MARK executable is expecting. On the Mac side of things, it was built using gfortran 4.6. If your Mac complains, you might need to install gfortran.

Thanks. I guess I was distracted by the bouncing icons at the bottom of the screen...

Hey Folks,

I have followed the install page and hints on this forum but have not been successful getting RMark to run on my mac.

Using terminal I get the standard message to indicate that my mark file is working:
CLambsMacBookPro:~ user$ mark
No input file was specified, so MARK job is done.
STOP No input file

If I use the data and code cooch specified above I get this though:
CLambsMacBookPro:~ user$ mark i=mcmcdipper.inp o=mcmcdipper.lst
-bash: mark: command not found


Overall, this is the error I keep getting. I have installed gfortran 4.9
library("RMark")
MarkPath="/usr/local/bin/mark"
data(dipper)
ex=mark(dipper)

sh: mark: command not found
Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, "r") :
cannot open file 'mark001.out': No such file or directory

You are going to have to get help from a Mac user. My guess would be that you have MarkPath set incorrectly. Sorry I know nothing about Mac and plan to stay that way. Maybe Arpat or Evan can help.

Alas, not I. I have a very old Mac I use to do test compilations, but nothing more.
