<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT SIZE=3><B>Introduction</B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>Beneath
the Apple GUI, a Mac is just a regular Unix system using the gcc
compiler, so installing and running ADMB on a Mac is the same as on a
Linux system. All you have to do first is to download the free
development tools (including gcc) from the Apple website.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT SIZE=3><B>Obtaining the
development tools</B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>Apple
requires that you register as a developer to download the tools.
Membership is free, and you get a ton of Unix software along with
gcc. To sign up, go to the Apple Developer Connection at
developer.apple.com/products/membership.html.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>The
Unix software is bundled with Apple's development tools called Xcode.
To download the latest version (3.1.2 as of May 2009), go to
developer.apple.com/mac and follow the Xcode link. This version is
what you want if you are running the latest version of Mac OS
(presently 10.5.x, aka Leopard), but it will not run under Mac OS
10.4 (Tiger).</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>If
you are running Mac OS 10.4, you want Xcode 2.2.1. To get it, do the
following:</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>	(i)
Go to the Mac Developer Program page at
developer.apple.com/products/mac/program.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>	(ii)
Click on the tiny &quot;ADC member site&quot; tab at the top of the
page.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>	(iii)
Log in as a member, then click on &quot;Downloads&quot;.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>	(iv)
In the list of downloads on the right side of the page, click on &quot;Mac
OS X&quot;.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium"><FONT SIZE=3>	(v)
Scroll down to Xcode 2.2.1.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in"><FONT SIZE=3><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">Same
