5/20/2008 I added the netcdf toolbox for MATLAB to my new MacBook Pro. Start at http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net/index.htm. Get MEXNC for R2007b from http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net/downloads/. And get the latest version of the "netcdf_toolbox" for MATLAB, from the bottom of the page at the same place. I put the mexnc folder (unzipped but otherwise complete) into my Applications folder, and I put the netcdf_folder into Applications/MATLAB_R2007b/toolbox/. Finally I added the following four locations to my matlab path:/Applications/mexnc

/Applications/MATLAB_R2007b/toolbox/netcdf_toolbox/netcdf
/Applications/MATLAB_R2007b/toolbox/netcdf_toolbox/netcdf/ncutility
/Applications/MATLAB_R2007b/toolbox/netcdf_toolbox/netcdf/nctype

And it works!

NOTE: eventually I think I should migrate over to SNCTOOLS, which are used by Wilkins' code below...

5/29/2008 Neil is running ROMS 3.0 on his new MacPro (with 3rd party RAM and disks, ~$4500, 8 processors - 4 dual core) using gfortran and OpenMPI (shared memory). He can run Matlab remotely using X-Windows and something called VCN

6/4/2008 In the MATLAB (R2007b) editing window scrolling was really slow and unpredictable, using both the mouse and the trackpad. I fixed this by addin a new java.opts file, following directions at http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/details.html?rp=412219. Now it works great!
