- Download modified cdat from here. This is a modified version based on the cdat trunk revision 6656.
- Uncompress the file
$ tar -xzvf modified-cdat-mac-manu.tar.gz
- Supposing you have Python 2.5 installed, perform the following commands:
$ unset PYTHONPATH $ cd cdat/exsrc $ sudo ./install_script /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5 $ cd build/Numeric-23.1 $ sudo python setup.py install $ cd .. $ sudo cp -r Pmw /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ $ sudo ln -s Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5/ $ cd .. $ sudo python install.py --force --disable-contrib /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5
- Before running vistrails, reset PYTHONPATH variable:
$ export PYTHONPATH=<path/to/vtk_build>/Wrapping/Python:<path/to/vtk_build>/bin:.
Test your cdat installation:
$ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54869, Apr 18 2007, 22:08:04) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import vcs >>> import cdms >>>
The cdat-vistrails package will be added soon.
