Alex's Unofficial OSX 10.5 x86_64 build of minc

Packaged On: 11 April 2008

Contact: acveilleux@mrs.mni.mcgill.ca

Description:
============

This packages extracts the following subdirectory in the current working
directory:

	bic/	-- MINC2 binaries
	mni/	-- MINC1 binaries

	bin/ lib/ include/ share/ doc/ info/ man/	-- supporting libs

Installing:
===========

0) MNI Perl Libraries:

	Untar MNI.tar.gz in /Library/Perl/<Version>

	This will install the MNI hierarchy of Perl modules that don't seem to
	be shipped as part of any packages.

	Use CPAN and install the Getopt::Tabular perl module:

	perl -MCPAN -e shell

	cpan> install Getopt::Tabular

1) In /usr/local:

	If you have no MINC distributions then /usr/local is the best place
	to install. All the libs will be found. If you have fink installed,
	there will be a conflict, see the instructions to install outside of
	/usr/local for details.

	If you have installed libraries in /usr/local/lib, *INSTALL AT YOUR
	OWN RISK*... Or install outside of /usr/local, see below.

2) Outside of /usr/local:

	Choose a directory (I recommend /opt/local) that ideally does not exist.

	Create the directory and untar the archive there.

	In your shell config file add:

(csh:)
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH "/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources:/opt/local/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

(bash:)
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources:/opt/local/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

Known Problems:
===============

	MINC2 version of Xdisp crashes when loading MINC2 files, it
	works with MINC1.

	postf has 64-bit issues, the version included should be "fixed"
	but it might not work.

	netpbm has a missing binary. I'm too lazy to fix it if no one
	notices which one is missing out of the several hundreds.

	Some Perl libs might be missing sicne they're from CPAN, you can
	install those the usual way (i.e.: sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'shell')

Questions and Problems:
=======================

Email me if it's a probable compile/64-bit issue. Email the MINC-Users
mailing list for general problems.
