[Nast-news] NAST now runs on 64bit Unix and Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

[Magdalena Jonikas]

You can now build and install NAST on 64bit unix machines and Mac OSX
machines running snow leopard.

**For 64bit unix**
Download the library called "libOpenMM_static.a" which you will find
under the source files section on the NAST downloads page. Replace the
file with the same name in the nast-0.5/lib/linux/ directory. Then
build, install, and test as described in the instructions.

**For Mac OSX snow leopard**
You will need to use the 2.5 version of python on your snow leopard
machine (default is 2.6). To change the default, type the following
into your terminal: defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Version
2.5 If you do not want to change the default python, make sure you
python "python2.5" instead of "python" every time you run a
NAST-related python command. You will also need to download the
"libOpenMM_static.a" file which you can find under the Mac OSX heading
on the downloads page. Be sure to remove the extra " for snow leopard"
from the file name when you download it. Place this file in the
nast-0.5/lib/osx/ directory.

Cheers!
