I am trying to run two FEA programs on my ibook. I have installed the
developers tools. It seems that the fortran compiler is not found
when trying to compile the code.
Apple does not supply a Fortran compiler with Xcode.
also it seems that XFree86 files libX11.a and Xlib.h are not present
with all the other X11 files.
You need to install the X11 SDK when installing the Developer Tools to
get these files; installing the X11 client doesn't install
development-time files.
Which will run faster? Unix version of a program or a ported, native
version?
That is an unanswerable question. It depends entirely on what the
program does and what kind of "port" is necessary. Generally, for
"faceless" code (that does not present a user interface) there is no
"port" necessary, so the "Unix version" and the "ported, native
version" are the same and will run at the same speed. For user
interface code, porting from X11 to the native Cocoa user interface may
make some parts faster, some parts slower.
