texi2dvi error in make

Hi,

To install mcsim-5.5.0 I'm using texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.8) 1.34 on Mac OSX 10.8 and get below error message.

I wonder if there is a workaround for that.

problems with make check on linux in MCSim v 5.5.0

MCSim version 5.5.0 released on March 17, 2013

Version 5.5.0 of MCsim is available at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcsim/
See the official web page at http://www.gnu.org/software/mcsim/

The latest version of the model generator "mod" can now
generate C code directly usable with the R package deSolve. Simply use 
the "-R" option for that.

Version 5.5.0 also fixes a potential security problem at the 
installation phase
(originating from automake).

mcsim 5.4.0 Mac OS X 10.82 Mountain Lion build errors

I'm trying to build mcsim 5.4.0 on my Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.  I've also installed GNU gsl through
MacPorts.  I run ./configure without a problem.  When I type make I get this error at the bottom:

ld: library not found for -lgsl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libmcsim.la] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

When I install libsbml-5.7.0-libxml2-macosx-mountainlion.dmg and then rerun the ./configure and type
make I receive this error:

modiSBML2.c:53:29: fatal error: sbml/SBMLReader.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [modiSBML2.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Rép. : mcsim make check error

Dear Sushil,

There is a problem with that check in particular and I did not find time to fix it. At this point you should
bypass the
"make check" step and run the example by hand (you can manually compare the output with the reference files).
There might be some small rounding differences.
Honestly, as long as the programs compile OK (and you went up to compile the mcsim.perc step) I have never
found a problem afterward (well, there might still be some bugs lingering, but the core code is pretty
stable, the new additions - SBML, R compatibility - are more "beta" in a sense).

Hi mcsim,

    I am installing mcsim on my mac and I got the following error when I try to 'make check'.
    I dint get any output file called sim.out. Please help me with this error.

Thanks,

GNU MCSim and R

The latest version (available from savannah) of the model generator 
"mod" can now generate C code directly usable with the R package 
deSolve. Simply use the "-R" option for that. You just need to have R 
and its deSolve package installed...

fixed an SBML model processing bug in modiSBML2.c

Inline statements in templates were ill processed (e.g. blank spaces 
were removed) when coupled to an SBML model.
That is now fixed. Inline () statements are transcribed "as is".
The latest version of the file is available on
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/mcsim/mod/?root=mcsim

fixed a printing bug in mh.c

When printing a fit check after MCMC simulations, the model prediction 
and data values were printed wrong
and mismatched if the Print and Data statements did follow the same 
order in the simulation input file. That did not affect
the results of MCMC simulations at all, but would eventually mess up the 
fit check.
That is now fixed (the latest version of the file is available on

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/mcsim/sim/?root=mcsim)

F. Bois

fixed a small bug in mh.c

A stray line code at the end of mh.c caused a systematic crash when  
exiting MCMC simulations. That is now fixed (the latest version of the  
file is available on
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/mcsim/sim/?root=mcsim)

GNU MCSim version 5.4.0 is available

Check the http://www.gnu.org/software/mcsim/ to access it.
It is now under FSF GPL v3
