how to install CTFFind4 on a Mac
Forums
Hi Alexis,
I'm new in this field. And I am trying to install the CTFFind4 on my Mac. I have a couple of questions in terms of installation.
Firstly, there are a couple of versions of CTFFind4? Which one is good for Mac with newest operation system.
Second, according to my understanding, the compilation will be different on Mac system than on a Linux system. And do you have a routine way to compile the version on Mac system?
By the way, I have successfully installed relion1.4 on my Mac.
Best,
Shijian.

Hi Shijan,
I do not own or use a Mac, so I have no experience doing this, unfortunately.
I do know that recent version of ctffind (>= 4.0.9) can be built using the freely-available GNU compilers (versions 4.9.1 and above). I believe that it is possible to compile programs under OSX using the GNU compilers, but I have no experience with this. Quick googling suggests there are tutorials out there on this topic.
In principle, you should use the latest available version of ctffind.
Sorry I can't be of more help

Does anybody have precompiled

Does anybody have precompiled binaries or can lend some help on this?
I have been trying to compile CTFFIND4 on os x 10.11.5 but run in problems:
$ ../configure --enable-static --disable-debug --enable-optimisations --enable-openmp FC=gfortran F77=gfortran
$ make
Configure seems to run ok other than complaining frequently 'rm: core: is a directory' and then the last lines of output after make are:
/opt/local/bin/../libexec/as/x86_64/as: Flag option -o has already been seen!

make: *** [core/useful_functions.o] Error 1
I have fortran installed:
$ gfortran -v
Using built-in specs.
