survex build probs on MacOSX

[Michael Lake]

Hi all,

I have aven working on my Mac OSX Ti PowerBook.
I dont know wht though :-)

yep. I went back into wxMac and did a make clean; ./configure from above 
the build directory that I made previously and a make and then went into 
demos and did a ./configure and a make. This time you can change into 
any of the demo directories eg. game of life or others and ./life or 
other demos work.

Now to aven. If you do a make install the aven does not respond to keys 
or mouse if you open it in most directories. e.g. survex/testcave$ aven &

But cd into the survex/src directory and start aven from there:
survex/src$ ./aven &

You will then be able to use the menus  and navigate to open a .3d file 
and it works fine.

Why I dont know. I gather that it is reading some resource that it needs 
from the survex/src directory but it cant find that resource or 
something if started from anywhere else. Starting it from anywhere else 
uses the symlink from /usr/local/bin/aven

Hopefully this is an important clue :-)
