ACE/gr is a 2D plotting tool for X Window System. It uses an OSF Motif-based user interface, and is popularly known as Xmgr. My physicist colleagues believe that the good old Xmgr has a much more poweful graphical user-interface than its successor, Grace. To install Xmgr on OS-X use this package: xmgr-4.1.2-IntelOSX.tar.gz Steps to follow: First install DarwinPorts. The disk-image installer file for the latest DarwinPorts package can be downloaded from here.

1. Once DarwinPorts is installed, update the port:

   $ sudo su
   # port -d selfupdate 

2. Next install automake autoconf X.org and OpenMotif:

   # port install automake
   # port instsll autoconf
   # port instsll xorg
   # port instsll openmotif
   

3. Installing OpenMotif will install dependency packages which takes quite a while. Next, download the xmgr package:

   # cd /tmp
   # wget http://www.unc.edu/~shantanu/download/xmgr-4.1.2-IntelOSX.tar.gz
   # tar -zxvf xmgr-4.1.2-IntelOSX.tar.gz
   

4. Next, configure the xmgr with DarwinPorts based library and config paths, and compile the sources:

   # cd xmgr-4.1.2-IntelOSX
   # ./configure --enable-extra-incpath=/opt/local/include/ --enable-extra-ldpath=/opt/local/lib/
   # make
   

5. Finally copy the freshly built xmgr binary to, say, /opt/local/bin, cleanup and exit!

   # cp src/xmgr /opt/local/bin/
   # cd /tmp; rm -rf xmgr-*
   # exit
   

You may test your Xmgr installation using open-x11:

$ open-x11 xmgr

If everything went well - Hurray you have xmgr! :-)
