[SAC-HELP] sac problems with MacOSx 10.7

Jose,

I got temporary access to a OS10.7.2 machine but had no problems.

I had sent out a "beta" version of v101.5, and I think someone wrote back 
that it had worked okay for them on OS 10.7.2.  Still, it is not working 
for you, so we need to figure out the reason.  Please repeat the steps I do 
below and make a file of the screen interactions and send it to me. 
Important questions are the version of gcc you are using.  (The one 
here is the defalt that comes with xcode -- which was put on this 
morning.)  Also, send me (off list) your SAC file so I can try truly to 
reproduce your tests.  My tar file: sac-101.5b-mac_64.tar.gz so my results 
are for 101.5b, but I would be amazed if the results are any
different from those for 101.5 as only one change was made in the source
code.  Most of the changes are in the help files.

I will lose access to this machine tomorrow afternoon (the system was 
built for a student).
