Hi Alain-
    I tried to run run-basic-tests.sh after using chmod +x, but it didn't work. It said that I didn't have permissions:
Scripts/run-basic-tests.sh . 1
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/jacques': Permission denied
I wasn't sure what the script was doing so I decided not to call sudo on it to make it go through. Is using sudo a good idea? Is it possible to run the tests at all once the binaries are created, or must I just trust that everything is working as it should? (I am a little worried about just trusting the output, since I don't have enough familiarity to be sure the code is running correctly without the unit tests provided with the distribution. I can only verify that it runs at all...). Thanks again for all your help!

Best,
Aaron Wolf

Hello Aaron,

I am afraid you cannot run the full test suite again after installing the binaries. The test routines - makefiles, perl - are dependent on the structure of the sources and build directories and are designed to be called from a makefile after compiling the code - . Most of the information is there - look at the scripts run-basic-tests.pl and run-standard-tests.pl.

Kind regards,

Alain

Hi Alain-
   Thanks for those binaries. I don't need to make them myself (at least not right now). I was wondering how to run the tests, since all of the make files are missing, so I can't just use make test1 etc. Thanks for everyones help!

Hello Aaron,

First of al, if you don't want to break your head, may I suggest you to
download my OSX binaries from
http://www.etsf.eu/resources/software/etsf_software_repository
They include all the plugins, they are optimized and pass all the tests.

If you insist to do it yourself ... I am a bit lost; I don't know if you
have produced working binaries. What kind of fortran compiler do you use
(Intel, gfortran from Fink or Macport)?  Can you show your configure
options? Can you provide the output of an "otool -L abinis" and "otool
-L abinip"?
