Installing OpenMx on MacBook with Snow Leopard

As I just upgraded to Snow Leopard on my new hard drive in my MacBook, I need to find out what the best/recommended way is to install OpenMx.

What do you see when you run

What do you see when you run "gfortran --version" ?

Hmm, on the two mac machines

Hmm, on the two mac machines I have access to in the Boker lab, I try gfortran --version and get 4.2.3. I also type "which gfortran" and get /usr/local/bin/gfortran, which strongly suggests that gfortran was installed separately on these machines. Not having done any of this myself, I would recommend getting the gfortran 4.2.3 package from this page: http://r.research.att.com/tools/. Make sure to follow the directions about adding /usr/local/bin to your $PATH.

I have the same (older)

I have the same (older) version and location.
(I'm pretty sure I didn't install gfortran: perhaps that is where the XCode installer puts it?)

Might be worth (re?) installing Xcode 3.1.4 from the Apple Developer site?

Odd if the newer version of gfortran snow leopard didn't support -arch ....

which gfortran

/usr/local/bin/gfortran

gfortran --version
