Here is a list of the packages I've had to install so far:

Numeric-24.2/
charm/
fftw-3.2.2/
ATLAS/
quat/
vrpn/
tachyon/
fltk-1.3.x-r7669/
surf/
stride/
tk/
tcl/
gfortran/

Of course, I had to modify makefiles, change header files, comment out
#includes, comment out problematic code blocks, etc. etc.

I feel like I'm close, but not quite there. I'm now stuck on the CUDA
part, with the following error:

Compiling msmpot_cuda.cu --> msmpot_cuda.o ...
nvcc warning : option 'host-compilation' has been deprecated and is ignored
nvcc fatal : Unknown option 'F/System/Library/Frameworks'
make: *** [msmpot_cuda.o] Error 255

Any suggestions on how to overcome this would be greatly appreciated. I
do have the latest full CUDA 3 SDK installed.
