The OpenSees Community

In case you are trying to compile or run OpenSees on MacOS X and are confused by what's available on the OpenSees website, here are some Makefiles and binaries to get you started.
Current version supported: 10.4.x and 10.5.x
Current hardware supported: Intel processors
Current OpenSees version: 1.7.5
Note, as stated in the Makefiles, you will probably need to install some additional software on your Mac even if you are just going to run the binary. This includes Tcl/Tk (if you have an outdated version) and some other libraries, such as PNG. Help on locating these is also provided below. Also, if you have not already done so, you need to install X11 from your original OS X install discs (it is not usually contained in a default installation). And if you are planning on compiling anything, make sure the Developers Tools package is installed (it contains Xcode, gcc, etc). These tools are also provided on your original OS X install discs.
