Trouble with make command

When Python is the interpreter, what is a good
design for the interface to the basic NEURON
concepts.

Trouble with make command

Post by maxwellphenderson »

Currently, I am trying to install NEURON using python as an interpreter. I have successfully installed OS X Developer Tools for my Mac and have been going through the steps for installing from source using both:

http://www.davison.webfactional.com/not ... on-python/

and

http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/downl ... ilestd_osx

I am currently running into issues when I run the make command in these steps:

Code: Select all

tar xzf iv-mm.tar.gz
  cd iv-mm
  ./configure --prefix=$IDIR/iv --enable-carbon # if this fails, you probably don't have the developer tools installed
  make
  make install
Here is the errors I am receiving:

Carbon is not available for a 64 bit build of NEURON. You must build using x11 or build
a 32-bit verson of NEURON.

Oh ok, thank you! If I could pester you with an additional question.... I have MATLAB on my computer, and whenever I run MATLAB, X11 automatically boots up and runs. I copied the same X11 folder into my iv-17 folder in my neuron directory. But, when I run:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=$DIR/iv --enable-X11
it seems that it is unable to find X11. This is what i keep getting as ouput (OK until last line):

A little clarification would be useful.
whenever I run MATLAB, X11 automatically boots up and runs.
So your Mac has the executable code for X11.
when I run:
./configure --prefix=$DIR/iv --enable-X11
it seems that it is unable to find X11
So your Mac does NOT have the X11 development library.

Executable code and development libraries are two different things. End users who only run applications and never do any software development can get along perfectly fine without development libraries--they only need the executable code for any program they want to run, plus any "helper" programs that may also be required (as is the case for Matlab and X11, for example). But if you want to compile program ABC, and ABC needs the PQR development library, then the PQR development library better be installed on your computer, or you're stuck.
