Hi,
I am trying to install gsl on my mac. I am new to macs. I followed the directions to down load macports-1.6.0, but when it says to configure the .profile file, I can't find the .profile file. After hunting around I can't even find my .bash_profile file that the documentation refers to. The online sites I visited talk about it already being there or automatically installed with macports. Where is this file located? I launched a terminal window and used ls -a for the home directory, and went up the tree using "cd .." and ls -a and could not find any .profile or .bash_profile.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Michael
