Comment:

I have improved the Fortran linking such that I would hope it works more reliably on a MacOS. From my testing it seems to compile fine on 10.4/PowerPC and 10.5/Intel now, but there remain problems:

  • Without autoreconf'ing on the Mac itself before the installation, it prints at runtime lots of error messages and eventually crashes.
  • If autoreconf'ed before installation, it starts running normally, but crashes as soon as something has to be written out to file (typically the process libraries).

Can Mac users please test with the attached tarball, and write me their experiences? Ideally you would do two tests:

  1. without autoreconf:
    • tar xzf Sherpa-beta-1.1.3.tar.gz
    • cd SHERPA-MC-1.1.3
    • ./configure
    • make -j2
    • make install
    • cd SHERPA/Run/LHC
    • ../Sherpa
  2. with autoreconf:
    • tar xzf Sherpa-beta-1.1.3.tar.gz
    • cd SHERPA-MC-1.1.3
    • autoreconf -fi
    • ./configure
    • make -j2
    • make install
    • cd SHERPA/Run/LHC
    • ../Sherpa

    initial v1  
    1 This is especially problematic due to different versions/architectures.
     1Sherpa does not compile on all common versions/architectures of Mac OS. The problem is related to linking with Fortran libraries for the internal PDF or Lund routines.
