Re: [photran] Installing Photran on Macintosh -- help needed with Path environment variable
|
Hi Bernard,
I believe that the issue is the PATH environment variable. I think it
needs to be adjusted so that /usr/local is on the list. Can anyone
confirm or correct this and give me blow by blow instructions on (a)
which file to change and (b) whether I can use the Textedit app to make
the change.
Try this.
(1) At a shell, type "which fortran" and make sure the result is
/usr/local/bin/gfortran
(2) Type "sudo open /etc/paths" to open the /etc/paths file in TextEdit.
You will need to enter your password first.
(3) Add a line that reads "/usr/local/bin" to the end of the file, save
it, and close TextEdit.
(4) You might need to reboot your machine before starting Photran again;
I'm not sure.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Jeff
