---------------------------------------------------------
CompuCell 3D version 3.6.1
for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)
---------------------------------------------------------


This is a binary distribution of CompuCell 3D 3.6.1 compiled for x86_64
(intel 64 bit CPU) systems running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Mac
OS X 10.7 (Lion).

Download the file:   CC3D_3.6.1_MacOSX_xxxx.zip
where xxxx are four digits indicating incremental build updates.

An installer is not required for this version: just double-click the
.zip file and place the resulting "CC3D_3.6.1_MacOSX" directory
anywhere you want.
A good place is your computer's /Applications/ directory.

Or, for example if you don't have administrative-level permissions on
your system (such as on a public lab machine), you can simply create a
directory called "Applications" in your user/home directory, and place
the "CC3D_3.6.1_MacOSX" directory inside that "Applications"
directory.

To start the CompuCell 3D player application from the Finder,
double-click the compucell3d.command file. The very first time you run
it, you may get a system warning "this application has been downloaded
from the internet".

To run CompuCell 3D from the Terminal, cd to the "CC3D_3.6.1_MacOSX"
directory and type:
./compucell3d.command <return>


CompuCell 3D is self-contained: all the required dependencies and
third-party libraries are included, such as Qt, PyQt, VTK, etc.
CompuCell 3D relies on the Python 2.6.1 distribution included by default
on Mac OS X 10.6 systems.


Starting with release 3.5.0, CompuCell 3D provides parallel execution of
simulation computations, implemented using the OpenMP shared memory
multiprocessing software library.

Important note: the CompuCell 3D 3.6.1 binary distribution for Mac
includes three dynamic libraries from the gcc 4.6 package made available
by the HPC for Mac site on SourceForge: libgomp.1.dylib,
libgcc_s.1.dylib and libstdc++.6.dylib.

The CompuCell 3D 3.6.1 binary distribution for Mac OS X 10.6 is now
compiled using gcc 4.6.0, since the default OpenMP dynamic library
(libgomp) included with gcc 4.2.1 on standard Mac OS X 10.6 systems
would crash at runtime.
A precompiled gcc 4.6.0 installation package for Mac OS X 10.6 can be
found on the HPC sourceforge website at http://hpc.sourceforge.net/.


Starting with release 3.6.0, build update 1885, the binary distribution
of CompuCell 3D compiled for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) includes
a beta-test version of BionetSolver 0.0.6.
