[ADMB Users] Mac OS 10.9.2 error compiling simple.tpl

[John Brandon]

Nevermind, I figured this out. The problem had to do with having installed a prior version of ADMB on my machine. The “.bash_profile” file needed to be edited, after installing a new version, so that it points to the updated ADMB paths. 

For reference, the process I used:
$ touch ~/ .bash_profile; open ~/ .bash_profile # to open .bash_profile file in text editor
# Edited text in .bash_profile to update paths for ADMB_HOME and tpl2cpp — previously the paths (from the prior installation) were ‘usr/local/admb'
# The first three lines of the .bash_profile file on my machine look like below (I didn’t edit the 2nd line), and now correspond to new version's directory
# export ADMB_HOME=/Users/johnbrandon/admb/build/dist.
# export PATH=$ADMB_HOME/bin:$PATH
# alias tpl2cpp=‘/Users/johnbrandon/admb/build/dist/bin/tpl2cpp’
$ source ~/ .bash_profile # loads the updated values in .bash_profile without having to reboot

That was it. 
Best,
John

So, I reset ADMB_HOME to point to the new installation files by running ‘$ export ADMB_HOME=/Users/johnbrandon/admb/build/dist’, to point to the sub-directory where the most recent files were installed (thinking the ‘dist’ directory would help point to the *.h files for *.tpl compiling).
