Hi -

Our Macintosh users can help with the details, but the thing you need todo is to define the Ferret environment variables so that they point tothe directories where these files are. The environment variable FER_DIRis the location of the top-level directory which by default for the Macinstallation is /usr/local/ferret. Under that directory are severalother directories including ppl/ and go/ and ext_func/ and so forth,where the palette files, journal script files, and external functionsfiles reside. Environment variables point to these as well, so you willhave environment variables FER_GO pointing to the journal scriptsdirectory, FER_PALETTE pointing to the palette directory, andFER_EXTERNAL_FUNCTIONS pointing to the external function directory.

Hi,

   I just install a Mac OS ferret 5.70 on the path

  /User/Application/ instead of /usr/local since I am
not an administrator.

   It seems working but when I try to make pictures,
error occurs:

  yes? set data a.cdf
  yes? set region/k=1
  yes? plot temp
--------------------------------
   Error messages:

   PPL+ error: Unable to read "default.spk" to set
shade and fill colors.
   ls: /usr/local/ferret/ext_func/libs/: No such file
or directory
Open: No such file or directory
apparent state: unit 10 named
/usr/local/ferret/ppl/fondat.dat
lately reading sequential formatted external IO
Abort
---------------------------------
  It seems that ferret can not automatically find the
default path /usr/local/ferret/ext_func/libs/

and /usr/local/ferret/ppl/fondat.dat



   Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem if we
do not install ferret on the /usr/local?

   Thanks a lot!
