GAMS on Mac OS X PPC

Post by Archiver »



Hi

I'm trying to run GAMS on my iBook (OS X 10.3.9). I downloaded GAMS
22.8 and followed its installation procedure. After unpacking the
compressed file, osx_ppc_fat_sfx.exe, I could't run the GAMS because
it couldn't find gmsprmun.txt file. Is it supposed to be unpacked with
other files? If not, where can I get the file? Is there anyone who had
the same issue on their GAMS installation on Mac and solved it? Please
let me know.

Best,

Jaden

Jaden,

Did you run ./gamsinst as required by the installation process (see
http://www.gams.com/docs/gams/unix-install.pdf)? gamsinst should
create this file. If it didn't something went wrong. In such a case
gamsinst should have given you an error or warning.

Hope this helps,

No zipfiles found.

Unpacking GAMS ...

Do you see what the problem was? If so, please let me know. Thank you.

Jaden,

The gmsunzip executable that comes with GAMS might not agree with your
system. Can you replace this with a regular unzip you find on your
machine (call it again gmsunzip). You also want to make sure that you
have write permissions in the directory you install GAMS in. How does
the directory listing look after you ran gamsinst? Send the output of
an 'ls'.

Hope this helps,
