MIDAS with MacOS X/Darwin

[Franz-Josef Zickgraf <st9b310@hs.uni-hamburg.de>]

Dear MIDAS users,

since the release of MacOS X/Darwin I was thinking about installing
MIDAS under
this operating system. Has anyone tried to do so or knows about attempts

to port MIDAS to this system?
Anyway, I started an attempt to install MIDAS 01FEBpl1.4 on a Powerbook
G4
with Mac OSX 10.1.3, developer tools vers. Dec2001, X11R6 (Xfree86 for
Darwin),
LessTif, and GNU g77.
So far I succeeded to compile and build executables of all sources but
two of the core package.
These two are idfunc.for and lutmod.for in /prim/display/src.
An error occurs obviuosly during linking:

 f77 idfunc.o -L/usr/local/midas/01FEBpl1.4/lib -ldisp -lftab ...-lmidas
-o
    ../../exec/idfunc.exe
 ld: Undefined symbols:
 _vmr_
 make: *** [../../exec/idfunc.exe] Error 1

The same error occurs with lutmod.for.

Has anyone an idea what the problem could be? Maybe a missing system
library
or a problem with /usr/bin/ld? The MIDAS libraries in any case seem to
have been build correctly.

Regards

F.-J. Zickgraf
