 * Download the latest version of [https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/lheasoft/download.html HEASOFT (source)]
 * Up until HEASOFT 6.15, XSPEC did not work properly on Mac OS X in 64bit mode. As of HEASOFT 6.16 this is no longer the case and the recommendation is to install everything in 64bit. You don't need to set anything to do that, but if you have old compiler flags set to "-m32", remove them!

 These packages install a necessary gfortran compiler as well as necessary libraries to build the slgsl / slxfig module for slang / isis. To make sure that the proper compilers are used (and not <code>/usr/bin/gcc</code>, which is a only "frontend" that can parse gcc), set the following in your <code>~/.bash_profile</code>:
 <pre>
-export GCC="/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-11"
