Easier way to install Grace
August 5th, 2007 by Marcos
The wonderful High performance computing for Mac site has pre-compiled binaries for Grace and the motif library on which it depends. This is perhaps easier than the compile-fest that is required to get it working via Fink on an Intel-based Mac. Of course, for reasons that remain unclear to me, people appear to prefer IDL, SM, and “something else entirely” to grace.

I was just wondering if anyone has had luck using the grace binary on leopard with apple x11 v2.0. When I run the binary, the xserver isn’t started.
Should I downgrade my X installation as has been suggested elsewhere?

Hmm, I haven’t tried Grace on Leopard with the newest X11 installed. Have you tried the 2.1.3 X11 from macosxforge and all? That’s the latest unofficial build. It’s probably worth trying.
