We are prepping a new OSX cluster for use with NEURON, and would like to make sure that the settings are optimal. Since there are no instructions on compiling from sources on the main install site, I wanted to check the optimal configuration flags for OSX in parallel. This is what I remember from th...

Dr. Hines mailed me the following: "The problem is with access acell_home_ L=0 in create_mspcells.hoc Set L to a nonzero value or else get rid of acell_home_ completely (in 5.9 and above it is no longer necessary to place ARTIFICIAL_CELL instances in such a dummy section)" Removing the ace...

The default shell in the terminal is bash. Therefore, to change the environment variable such that XWindows will display properly, use the following command:

export DISPLAY=localhost:0

You should now be able to run NEURON from the terminal, which is infinitely better than the X11 terminal.

There is a dmg for that machine at http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/alpha/ or you can look at the nrn/mkalpha.sh file for the configuration options to use if you wish to build from the sources. I like building the...

Hi all, When running our model on Macs with a powerpc chip, it runs fine with variable dt. When running on i686's (either Mac or Linux) we get the following error, and it will only run with variable dt off. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. CVode-- At t = 0 and h = 1.65133e-10, the corrector c...

Hi all - I was wondering if anyone had attempted to compile NEURON on an OSX Intel box yet, and if so, what the results were. Are there any inherent problems in this that we should be aware of, or should it be straightforward? I just found out I will have access to one soon if this needs to be teste...

Hi all,

Does anyone (Bill?) have a chunk of code that does a nice job of displaying all the NetCons in a network sorted by either precell or postcell? We are having problems printing the contents of netconlist...
