Installing 5.8/InterViews 17 from source code

[jtmoyer]

I'm trying to install NEURON 5.8 from source code onto a dual 2.5 GHz Mac G5. When I try to "make" InteViews I get the error pasted below. Any idea why it can't find the LibUnidrawhines.la library? It doesn't appear to be in the referenced directory, or anywhere in the IV directory for that matter. Thanks.

Here is how I build on a OS X G5
NSRC=$HOME/neuron/nrn
IVSRC=$HOME/neuron/ivcarbon
NOBJ=$HOME/neuron/nrncarbon
IDIR=/Applications/NEURON-5.8
put the nrn*tar.gz sources in NSRC
and the iv*tar.gz sources in IVSRC
cd $IVSRC
./configure --prefix=$IDIR/iv --enable-carbon
make
make install
cd $NOBJ
$NSRC/configure --prefix=$IDIR/nrn --srcdir=$NSRC \
--with-iv=$IDIR/iv --with-nrnjava --enable-carbon
make
make install
make after_install
#and, if you want to make a dmg to move it to another machine...
make dmg
