Another way to build plucker
Authored by: andyda on Sep 03, '02 12:07:32PM

Process listed by jambiscuit works OK on 10.1.5, but I can't get it to work on 10.2.

I've read elsewhere that Plucker requires "some coaxing" to get it to work in 10.2.

Has anybody got it to work in 10.2?

What did you do?

Thanks,

Andy

Another way to build plucker

Update to my post about getting Plucker to work with 10.2.

You can use the install process outlined in the original post, and it works.

You don't need to install Python, becuase it's already in 102.

There is a problem with the way plucker interacts with 10.2 because plucker is installed in /usr/local/bin and this is no longer in the normal path under 10.2. The way I added this was to creatre a .tcshrc file in my home directory (thanks to folks in comp.sys.mac.system) with the line:

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:$PATH

I had a problem because I was using BBEdit and fo rsome reason (even though I set it to) it was not writing the file in UNIX format. Once I got the UNIX line endings fixed it worked just fine.

Now the only problem I have is that I don't have graphics support.

Thanks,

Andy

Thanks for posting out the 10.2 stuff

I was pulling my hair out trying to get this to work under 10.2, and this really helped me out. My problem was that I had first tried an install following the first set of instructions, and something got messed up due to the path issue. Later install attempts did not work because some "bad" file that was created was living through the re-install.

Haveing these easy to follow instructons with a report of success was a huge help.
