Dear Andy, James, Hendrik et al

just to give you feedback on the rivet-mac-lion issue:
the problem was the order of directories in the PATH, where things got screwed up.
Having the fink path at the end, solved the problem.
Now it works, I can compile and run nicely Rivet 1.8.  on Mac OSX Lion
without any problems, ... the installation with the bootstrap script went smoothly.

Cheers
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

The directories to find standard analysis libraries (with names like
Rivet*.so, even on Mac, I believe) should be found automatically. But
you can try setting (and exporting) RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH explicitly and
see what happens.

Dear James

thanks a lot for your reply...
I also thought about this, and I think I have checked that this is not
the case.
all is take from /sw/bin (also the g++ is a link to this directory) and
/sw/bin is the fink installation.
BTW, do you know, what the switch AC_CEDAR_OSX in configure.as in the
rivet directory does, and where it gets the environment variables from ?
If I comment this statement, Rivet compiles without problem, only it
seems not to find the proper directories where the analyses etc are ...
but tis might be a problem of the environment variables...

thanks a lot
Cheers

Hi Hannes,

Sorry for the slightly tardy response on this.

I see you are using Fink, and that configure is picking up python from
/sw/bin, and that it is also picking up g++ from /Users/jung/bin .
Both of those are not where I would expect the standard system-wide
installations to be, so is it possible you have multiple, and perhaps
conflicting, installations of either python and/or gcc and the stdlibs?

cheers,

James

Hi Hendrik

ok, this is then the result:
------
~/jung/cvs/rivet> rivet  --list-analyses
python(94831) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff73dcf860: pointer
being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
zsh: abort      rivet --list-analyses

and

~/jung/cvs/myrivet> source /Users/jung/jung/cvs/rivet/rivetenv.sh
~/jung/cvs/myrivet> rivet-mkhtml pythia_z2_merged.aida
python(94891) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff73dcf860: pointer

Hm....

even with disabling the pdfmanual, the problem remains (... the
python issue).

Oh well, it seems the html manual is built anyway ... Try make install
nevertheless. You'll see the same error, but the manual is built as last
step, so the rest of the installation should succeed. The try if Rivet
runs. Good luck!
