installing MCsim

Dear Sirs:

I recently dl'd MCsim to my Mac from your site.  I am 
using Mac OS 10.1.5 (although I dl'd MCsim when I had 
Mac OS 10.1.4, if it makes any difference).  After figuring 
out that I needed to make aliases point to my compiler 
(Mac 10 compiler called cc and language c++ instead 
of gcc and g++) I finally used the make utility on the 
makefile (I will include the terminal image of that 
instance at the end of this mail).  When using 'make 
install' I have a problem.  I'm new to unix programming 
but have poked around in my system and have found 
no 'install' option to my make utility.  However there is 
an 'install' utility which seems to copy a file from one 
place to the next;  for some reason this doesn't sound 
like the install utility that I need;  I tried it but when I tried 
to invoke the mod utility at the terminal (and by double 
clicking in the Aqua gui) it reported an error.  
Nonetheless, I'd like to use MCsim on a pbpk model 
I've worked on and need your help.

Included below is the history of the terminal wherein I 
'made' the makefile and also the history of my (mis-
)uses of 'install'.  Incidentally, after it didn't work, I 
thought I would cat mod just to see if there was 
anything there:  I have included in this email the output 
of cat mod in case you may find it useful.  Any help you 
may have would be extremely appreciated!! 

Thanks in advance for your help,
(Continue reading)

Re: About the software!

Dear Sir,

I was already asked this question a while ago by someone in the US... But I 
don't know what they were able to do with our software. I also 
know that the Pasteur Institute in France has installed it on its
computing network. Unfortunately I know nothing about the mathematical models 
you are using. In theory, with MCSim, you should be able to do Monte Carlo 
simulations on the parameters of any system of algebraic and/or ordinary 
differential equations (numerical integration is performed as needed).
You may be able to get specific help on this question by posting a query to
help-mcsim <at> gnu.org and browsing the existing help archive (see 
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-mcsim). 
The Molecular Graphics and Modelling Network (http://www.vei.co.uk/mgmn/) 
also lists MCSim as a useful ressource. You may get help from them.
Don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of further help.
