RE: problem installing ppsp on Intel Mac

[Galderisi, Peter]

Other than output problems, the version from the Cincinnati site  seems to work 
fine as long as you have MAC 10.4 or later (but NOT Snow Leopard) and X11.

Subject: Re: problem installing ppsp on Intel Mac

In a fit of pique, I decided to forego Macports and install the "Evolution
Beach" packaged version of pspp from the ppsp website.  I ran the
installer and it installed fine, but after I created a basic .syn file, I
couldn't get ppsp to run it:

John:/Users/jpollock% /opt/local/bin/pspp myfile.syn
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/libexec/pspp/pspp
  Reason: Incompatible library version: pspp requires version 7.0.0 or
later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 5.0.0
/opt/local/bin/pspp: line 4: 11918 Trace/BPT trap
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pspp /opt/local/libexec/pspp/pspp

I took a look, though, and I do seem to have the right version of
libiconv.2.dylib:

John:/opt/local% otool -L /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib:
        /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0,
current version 7.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 111.1.3)

Then I realized that pspp is apparently looking at the version of libiconv
in /sw/lib (which actually is v5 and not v7) instead of /opt/local/lib.
It appears that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined in /opt/local/bin/pspp, but I'm
not sure if it's defined correctly (i.e., whether it should point to
/opt/local/lib instead of /opt/local/lib/ppsp).  Changing it manually
doesn't seem to be the solution, but I'm guessing this might be an easier
problem to fix.

Cheers,
John P.
