	====Dependencies====		====VTK and GSL Dependencies====

			The code has two optional dependencies, the [http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ Gnu Scientific Library (GSL)] which provides the Mersenne Twister random number generator (more statistically valid than the standard rand() function), and [http://vtk.org The Visualization Toolkit (VTK)] which provides the 3D visualization routines. I have posted precompiled binary versions of the [http://www.dayel.com/2009/09/installing-vtk-on-os-x/ VTK] and [http://www.dayel.com/2009/09/building-gsl-universal-binary/ GSL] libraries for OS X, which you should be able to use directly just by unzipping the files and setting the paths in Xcode or the makefile to point to the include files and libraries.

	~~The code has two optional dependencies, the [http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ Gnu Scientific Library (~~GSL~~)] which provides the Mersenne Twister random number generator (more statistically valid than the standard rand() function), and [http://vtk.org The Visualization Toolkit (~~VTK~~)] which provides~~ the ~~3D visualization routines. If these~~ libraries are not available, you can compile without them by changing the #define's USE_GSL_RANDOM and LINK_VTK in the file stdafx.h from 1 to 0 respectively. Follow [[installing VTK on OS X\|these instructions]] to install universal VTK libraries under OS X (macports now has a 'vtk5' package that will compile the libraries---I haven't tested it with these yet). I will also upload instructions on how to make OS X universal libraries GSL soon.		=====Compiling without GSL or VTK=====
