From the developer...

"I have installed Snow Leopard and tested iNMR 3.2.1.
The program works normally and sends no error message. A few errors,
however, appears into the Console (a seldom used utility, part of Mac
OS X).
At this moment, these messages are completely obscure to me, yet I
will try to understand more of them in future.

In conclusion, I think that the current version of iNMR is READY to
run under the new OS. An update is not required."

Partek Genomic Suite is not compatible unfortunately. I suspect it doesn't play well with the new version of Java SL hosts. Their support told me I'd have to wait for a SNow Leopard specific version and didn't mention any beta available.

So far it's the only scientific application I use that's not compatible.
Some of the applications that appear to be fine so far:

• Ingenuity Pathway Analysis
• ImageJ
• Image SXM
• Genesis
• Laser Gene
• Scientific Journal Information
• Papers of course :-)
• tfsearch14
• EnzymeX
• Delta Graph
• Prism

I have plenty more, but I haven't tried them yet.

Snow Leopard has broken some fundamental functions of dialog, causing crashes. Please note that a special upgrade of Aabel v3 for Snow-Leopard compatibility was released last night. This upgrade is critical for those who have installed or are going to use Snow Leopard, and is available on the Gigawiz website:

Seem to work:
Electroacoustics Toolbox 2.1
Endnote XII
Papers
Matlab R2009
Igor pro 6

Don't work:
SPSS 17

I can't get GeneSpring GX 10 to work under 10.6 on any machine I've upgraded. It was always unsupported (but largely working) on 10.5, Agilent STILL only support it on 10.4.

I did raise this issue with Agilent, that they were soon to be two OS revisions behind on what they would support.

GeneSpring GX 11 is out soon, let's hope they've bothered to check Snow Leopard compatibility.

Cheers Agilent!

4Peaks OK
Serial cloner 1.3 OK

Thanks for the reply.

Could you also test these for me ?

And

Quantity One, from Biorad ?

Thanks a lot.

Does anyone use iWork'08 ? Does it work ? I don't want to update to the latest version.

In the webpage of visor it says this:

"Snow Leopard:: In Finder go to /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and right-click it, open "Get Info" dialog and check in "Open in 32-bit mode" "

I haven't tried, I was checking for what visor was.

Macports isn't ready for scientific computing on SL yet, particularly with python. Here's a list of utilities that are currently having issues (09-11-2009). Some of these are as a result of failure of dependencies and may fall in line when those are ironed out.

- gcc43
- atlas/lapack
- numpy
- scipy
- pymvpa

It should be noted that python 2.5 will build, but it does not build a framework build. This will result in failure of many gui oriented modules (e.g. matplotlib) using that interpreter. The latest on the Python bug trackers indicates python 2.5 is viewed as maintenance only and so no efforts will be made to get the framework build working.

I just upgraded today, and the following programs were all fine - didn't have to be modified or recompiled, other than to do the optional install of Xcode to recover 'make':

Mathematica 7.0.1
Matlab R2009a
Evernote
Papers 1.9.3
MacTeX (TeXShop 2.18)
GEANT4
MCNP
Smultron

Calibre doesn't work though!

The problem is the fact Chemdraw now includes a PDF version on the clipboard when cut and pasting (in addtition to other formats) iWork documents seem to only select this part of the clipboard. If you go to Preference in Chemdraw and deselect "Add PDF to clipboard" you should be able to do round trip editing in iWork.

Since I had some trouble with MySQL, after I upgraded to SL from a Leopard installation where I compiled my own MySQL server, I also installed MySQL (5.4b x86_64) by hand. Works now without a problem, from command line as well as with PHP. However, the Perl module DBD::mysql won't build with a myriad of errors...

I was told by someone that iWork'08 works fine under Snow Leopard.
So that's one ticked off my list.

Could someone also test these for me ?

And

Quantity One, from Biorad ? Version 4.6.8 for MacOSX.

Thanks.

It is not possible to enter text in "Convert Name to Structure" when running Chemdraw 11 under SL. Since it looks like Chemdraw 11 will not see a fix, and upgrading is not an option right now, I am stuck with Leopard. Mind you, most of my testbanks do not work in SL either.

Details of the 12.0.1 Update are here.

This update does not address the problem with round-trip editing.

Stata offers a 64bit Multi-processor update free of charge. This works just fine. No hickups, no problems.

Since I have SnowLeopard (MacOS 10.6.2) and Matlab 7.9.0.529 (R2009b), I cannot correctly access the MySQL database from a Matlab session.

For compilation of mysql.cpp and generation of mysql.mexmaci64, I used the command:

mex -v -maci -I/usr/local/mysql/include -L/Applications/MATLAB_R2009b/bin/maci -lmysqlclient_r -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lpthread mysql.cpp

Basic commands like:

data=mysql('select * from table1')

do not work. Maybe the compilation options have to be changed?
Thank you for consideration!
