Thanks all for your answers,
I downloaded v5.70 from:
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/static/Downloads/mac_downloads.html
I couldn't access Andy Jacobson website however:
http://tazman.princeton.edu/osx/
If there are any requirements, I am therefore not aware of them.
Untarring ferret.tgz and modifying my .bashrc file seems to be working
well so far:
ferret is starting and I managed to follow the first examples of the
tutorial.
I will look next wether I can play with netcdfs.
thanks again

Aurelien,
Have you tried using ferret 5.7 or one of the older versions, rather
than the "latest/greatest"?

Hi Sophie,
thanks for your reply.
This is unfortunately the case, my macbook pro has a 32bit Intel Core
Duo processor.
I assume you didn't find any workaround ?

Hi Aurelien,
is your mac intel an old one?
I had the same problem with my mac intel I bought in 2006, and which
was with a 32-bit processor.
Ferret is compiled for a 64-bits processor.
It might be your problem...

Hi all,
I recently tried to install ferret v6.3 on a mac intel 10.5.8 with
the files found at :
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/static/Downloads/mac_intel_downloads.html
When I try to run ferret however, I get the following message:
dyn-113-18:~ aponte$ ferret
bash: /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret: Bad CPU type in executable
my computer:
dyn-113-18:~ aponte$ uname -a
Darwin dyn-113-18.ucsd.edu 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed
Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
Has anybody already encountered this problem ?
Thanks
aurelien
