[mesa-users] Update Question

Thu Oct 31 12:10:06 EDT 2013

Dear Pam —

Thanks for the extensive feedback.

It seems that the Fortran compiler is unable to find the assembler ‘as’, which is responsible for translating low-level assembly language into machine code. This assembler isn’t distributed as part of the SDK, but should be a standard part of the Xcode command-line tools.

To see whether ‘as’ is present on your system, run ‘which as’. This should respond with ‘/usr/bin/as’ — if it doesn’t, then it seems the assembler has gone missing. You can try re-installing the command-line tools via 

xcode-select --install

Best wishes,

Rich

Today, with the same program, a gfortran error occurred and the program would not compile. I cannot remember the exact error, as there were a lot of other things going on and this was filed in the 'sort it out later' pile, but there was something about an 'as'. If that makes sense! :-) The technical gentleman assisting with the upgrades double checked what had been put into the Terminal window, but this was an error he had not seen before either.

After the upgrade, following the instructions on the MESA SDK web page, entering gfortran --version did produce the expected output. X11 was still in the Utilities folder following the upgrade.
