Greetings,
I have made the following updates to MacPorts that should should
benefit users and solve several existing build issues:
- Updated the atlas (blas/lapack) pirt. .. this was a major source of
build failures and glitches
- Updated Shogun to 0.7.3 (current)
- Updated pymvpa to 0.4.2
A draw back of ports is the inability to specify variants as
dependencies. This was also a major source of installation issues. The
respective ports now check to make sure that their dependencies have
been compiled with the proper variants and if they have not, will
cowardly refuse to install until the offending port has been upgraded.
I hope this leads to much smoother installation process for mac users.
However, the best way to build the above tools to minimize unnecessary
packages being installed and maximize success is as follows:
1. Install macports
2. sudo port selfupdate
3. sudo port install swig -php5 -ruby -perl +python (shogun users who
want the r and octave interfaces should add +octave and/or +r to this
list)
4. sudo port install shogun (for r, octave, and
elwms interfaces: +r +octave +elwms)
5. Add DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=${macports_prefix}/lib to your shell
profile
*tip* the default ${macports_prefix} is /opt/local/. In that case, the
library path would be /opt/local/lib
6. sudo port install py25-pymvpa +matplotlib
Please direct any bug reports to the MacPorts bug tracker: http://trac.macports.org/newticket
Cheers,
