Installation on Mac OS X

AUTO runs on Mac OS X using the above instructions provided that you have the development tools installed. You do not need to start an X server to run AUTO. To be able to plot in the Python CLUI, AUTO uses pythonw instead of python. This should happen automatically.

The old plotting tool PLAUT may not display fonts. To solve this issue you would need to obtain a different version of xterm; see http://iparrizar.mnstate.edu/~juan/urania/2007/07/19/xterm-tektronix-emulation-broken-on-macosor http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21781. Apple is aware of this problem.
