X-windows in rootless mode works great, but I have no idea where openMotif is installed.

Prepare your system by installing required dependencies.The Mac binaries are built on OS X 10.5.8. Users of other Linux distributions and (non-Mac) *nix OSes may find it necessary to build DAKOTA from source. It should also run on other Linux distributions that maintain binary compatibility with RHEL, such as CentOS. The most recent Linux version of DAKOTA is built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3. package it in the standard way so that Canopy etc can just install from their Package Manager.

Best to increase use of dislin would be if the MacOSX installation process could be revised to be as simple as the Windows installer. I don't want busy students to waste time installing Xcode etc just to get this one very fine package onto their machine to do useful work without the frequently obscure matplotlib. Has anyone here been able to install/run dislin under El Capitan? If so, can you provide complete instructions? I haven't 'upgraded' to El Capitan but my students have unfortunately and they cannot install dislin because the openmotif library for XQuartz from is now no longer compatible (worked fine under Yosemite). I have the dislin python binding working under Enthought Canopy IDE and MacOSX Yosemite, required 10 mins effort a few months ago following
