| This is simple: We provide a Python script to translate from the old | |
| syntax (before July 2014) to the new syntax (after July 2014): | |
| |
| python src_py/translate.py uvspec.inp > uvspecnew.inp | |

| | |
| The gcc that comes with xcode will not compile libRadtran. Thus, please install | |
| gcc and gfortran from http://www.macports.org using the port command (you have to install the port command first) in a terminal window: | |
| |
| sudo port install gcc | sudo port install gcc |

| |
| Alas, two things will be missing with the above installation procedure. Thus | |
| not all functionality is included. To get the rest you need the gnu scientific library | |
