This might be asking a lot, but I wonder if any of the members of
this list that have gotten Argyll up and running on OSX might be
willing to help me out or at least point me in the right direction.
Thing is I am not by any stretch of the imagination a Unix maven, and
after reading Unix help files and the like online, I don't want to
be. All I want is to install this and make it work.
Here's where I am, and here are my issues:
What I'm hoping to use Argyll for is to do some profiling of large
and grand format solvent inkjets, all run by RIPs, so mainly what I'm
going to need is just to generate CMYK targets, read them, and create
ICC profiles. The device I've got to use is a DTP41B which was
actually donated to me by a customer for this project--just to prove
there are some truly nice people left in the world.
The thing has a dark grey case, and a serial connection on the
device, but--and I don't know whether this is standard for these
things or it was an add-on--the connector I got to the computer is USB.
I downloaded Argyll and unzipped it and have read through quite a bit
of the documentation, and I even managed to find /usr/bin, create the
directory /argyll there, and install all the files.
Now my issues are to make the computer see the device, and to make
the files run.
In particular:
It appears from the documentation that I have to configure the files
to what exactly I want them to do. How do I do that? (They open as
code in text edit, and I can't change them in terminal.)
Evidently I have to do something called set the path to get the shell
to see the executables in the directory, but when I tried that, it
told me it was a directory, as if I wasn't supposed to.
Step-by-step, how do I configure the machine to see the device, and
does it need to be serial?
How do I simply run the programs?
Anyone that can help, or can point me somewhere that can get me there
in a step-by-step fashion, I'd be very, very grateful.

Mike Adams
