I'd love to stay connected to the project on the offchance I can help but the message "Message from server: platform 'i686-apple-darwin' not found" isn't going to get me very far Cheers Dave ID: 16950 · Reply Quote

I'm not an expert nor a programmer, but I'm noticing a lot of boinc projects compile successfully their binaries for new Intel Macs ;) ID: 17028 · Reply Quote

I for one am a Mac user so would like to be able to run it on my computer too. ID: 17037 · Reply Quote

I've been running GNU Fortran on my Powerbook for years; GNU compilers for PowerPC and for Intel support both f77 and f90; and there are compilers from the chip manufacturers (IBM and Intel, respectively) that run fine under Mac OSX.

A quick google search of Sixtrack and Fortran reveals http://lhc-collimation-project.web.cern.ch/lhc-collimation-project/code-tracking.htm "... FORTRAN language and MUST be compiled using the Lahay Fortran Compiler LF95." I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here. ID: 17050 · Reply Quote
