Compiling MrBayes 3.1.2 on Intel Mac

MrBayes has Mac release for PPC Mac. In order to get better performance without rosetta it is possible to compile MrBayes for Unix from source code, thanks to Mac OS X being a Unix system.

However, if you go into the folder and make, you will end up haveing error message. I read from a forum that you need to do the following:

Open the Makefile in a text editor and add the following line after line 32, i.e. after the check for architecture in relation to READLINE:
USEREADLINE = no

Save the file and do
rm *.o
make

Good luck with your phylogenetic analysis!
