Hi Ed,
Thanks for your help !
I checked the wxPython website more carefully and found something quite
interesting:
===============
Mac OSX Binaries
The wxPython binaries for OSX are mountable disk images. Simply double
click to mount the image and then run the installer application in the
image. Be sure to download the image that matches the version of Python
that you want to use it with.
The files with "carbon" in the name use the Carbon API for implementing
the GUI, are compatible with PPC and i386 machines are will work on OSX
10.4 and onwards. Since they use the Carbon API they are limited to
running in 32-bit mode.
The file with "cocoa" in the name use the Cocoa API for implementing the
GUI, requires at least OSX 10.5, and supports either 32-bit or 64-bit
architectures. If you would like to have both the Carbon and Cocoa
versions installed you will need to do something like install the Carbon
build for Python 2.6 and install the Cocoa build for Python 2.7.
wxPython2.9-osx-carbon-py2.5
wxPython2.9-osx-carbon-py2.6
wxPython2.9-osx-carbon-py2.7
wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7
===============
So, I installed Python-2.7.1 and wxPython-2.9 using Cocoa (64-bit
compatible). Everything was smooth and wx could be import in
python-2.7.1. Of course, for relax to be happy, I also had to install
numpy for python-2.7.1. Numpy was easy using successively "git clone
git://github.com/numpy/numpy.git numpy", "python setup.py build", and
"python setup.py install".
For scipy, manual installation did not work because of a problem in the
"umfpack" module. However, when removing the module (by commenting out
the line "" in ""), the program compiled without problem. However, as
for the compiled package using Mac installer, there was a 32/64-bit
problem with "cephes.so" when starting relax. Since scipy is not a
strict dependence for relax (i.e. it is only needed for the frame order
theory analysis), I decided to go on without (after more than an hour
struggling).
...
Then, I tried starting the gui..! The splash screen appeared (!), but it
then crashed with the following error:
=====

=====
Is this a bug in relax with how it deals with grid sizer, or is it a
problem with wxPython ???
Any idea how I can solve this issue ??
...
Finally, you proposed that the Mac people should maybe get a relax
package which has everything bundled together. This would be great, but
I am not sure if this is necessary... However, maybe more information on
the steps to get the system working properly for relax would be good...
...
Thanks a lot again !!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Séb :)

Hi,
Sorry for not responding earlier. I would not worry about the 32-bit
vs. 64-bit issues. This appears to simply be a badly packaged
wxPython file for 64-bit Mac OS X. Could you try the source wxPython
package and see if you can compile it? You could possible try older
version of wxPython from here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/ as well to
see if it is a version issue. The real issue is within wxPython and
not anything else. I'm starting to wonder if the Mac OS X people need
a relax package which has everything bundled together (python,
wxPython, minfx (http://gna.org/projects/minfx/), bmrblib
(http://gna.org/projects/bmrblib/), python-devel, scipy, scientific,
etc.). This would be a huge effort though and would need to be
automated via scripts to build the package.

Edward

Hi,
Instead of switching the system python installation to its 32-bit version
using "export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes", as stated before, I
manually switched to using 32-bit python (2.6.6), numpy (1.5.1) and scipy
(0.9.0) from fink (instead of 64-bit python 2.6.1, numpy 2.0.0, and scipy
0.10.0 directly under Mac OS X). As relax uses the "/usr/bin/env python" in
order to get the python path (header of executable file "relax"), I had to
manually change it to "/sw/bin/python2.6" (the fink path for python-2.6
binary) to do so.
The unit tests all passed without the warnings discussed before (post at
https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2011-04/msg00050.html ; Message-id:
<4DB419A4.1030201@xxxxxxxxx>). The warnings were also absent from the system
tests, although 9 errors arose because of the unavailability of the C
modules:
====
RelaxError: RelaxError: Relaxation curve fitting is not available. Try
compiling the C modules on your platform.
====
The C modules, however, compiled without error using scons-1.2.0-2 (also
from fink). However, when starting the relax prompt, the following error
arose:
====
ImportError:
dlopen(/Users/semor/Documents/pse-4/collaborations/relax/relax-1.3/maths_fns/relax_fit.so,
2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Users/semor/Documents/pse-4/collaborations/relax/relax-1.3/maths_fns/relax_fit.so:
mach-o, but wrong architecture
Relaxation curve fitting is unavailable, try compiling the C modules.
====
It is as if, although python is switched to the 32-bit version from fink,
scons still compiles the executables for the 64-bit Mac OS X system...
Indeed, the command file yields the following output:
====
./maths_fns/relax_fit.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
./maths_fns/c_chi2.os: Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64
./maths_fns/exponential.os: Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64
./maths_fns/relax_fit.os: Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64
====
Moreover, in addition to the C modules not being compiled properly, it turns
out that fink does not allow the installation of wxPython. Hence, I had to
use the module installed for the system 64-bit python. In 32-bit python,
this module loaded without error. However, when starting the gui ("relax
-g", the following error arose:
====
This program needs access to the screen.
Please run with 'pythonw', not 'python', and only when you are logged
in on the main display of your Mac.
====
Apparently, pythonw is present for the system (which is, unfortunately,
64-bit, thus incompatible to wxPython), but not present with the fink
installation (which is 32-bit, but since lacks pythonw, can't have access to
the graphical interface)...
This situaiton is becoming more and more complicated...
Maybe a simpler fix would be to find simple way to really use a 32-bit
version of the system python installation...
Any idea how to solve this ?

Hi,
In order to test the gui by manually changing to 32-bit python, I typed
the following command:
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
Python was then working in 32-bit mode, which allowed the import of wx
within python, hence allowing the dependency check for wx to pass and
the launch of the gui.
However, I then got the following error:
====
ImportError:

====
Testing further, it turns out that the relax prompt yields the same
error, similarly to the relax test-suite (i.e. the following commands
all yield the same error: "relax", "relax -g", "relax -u", "relax -s",
"relax -t", "relax -h", etc).
My scipy version is 0.10.0.dev (running under python 6.2.1, now in
32-bit mode). As reported in a recent post at
https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2011-04/msg00050.html
(Message-id:<4DB419A4.1030201@xxxxxxxxx>), testing scipy yielded some
errors and failures which could be related to the current problem (or
not).
Any idea what this could be a problem with running 32-bit python under
Mac OS X, or a problem specific to relax ???
Anyway, it turns out that simply switching from 64-bit to 32-bit python
under Mac OS X does not allow the use of the gui...
Thanks a lot !!!!!!

Hi,
I just installed wxPython on my Mac running OS X in order to be able to
run the relax gui.
I installed "wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-py2.6" from
"http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#stable";.
When trying to start the gui, I get the following message:
""RelaxError: To use the GUI, the wx python module must be
installed."
When I try to import wx withon python, the module seems there, but not
working, as I get the following error:
====

32-bit mode)
====
On the wx python website, it is said that "These binaries should work on
all versions of OSX from 10.3.9 onwards on either PPC or i386
architectures. Since they use the Carbon API they are limited to running
in 32-bit mode."
However, my machine, a Macbook pro, is 64 bit and python runs in 64 bits
by default. I found that python can be set to use 32 or 64 bits.
However, I am afraid that these settings are system-wide. Would there be
a way that relax tells the system to run python in 32 bit mode, maybe
only when the gui is invoked ?
Maybe this is too much asked... However, if it is simple, I guess it
would simplify the life of many users with recent Mac computers...
Thanks a lot !
