7. (g)Set the options as follows :                                                                                                                       

Mac OS X 10.6 is a 64 bits system. Unfortunately, the tcl/tk libraries proposed by ActiveState for Mac OS X stick with the 32 bits architecture. We then need to use the 64 bits Unix libraries and run LSD as a X11 application.

NB: When running models compiled on previous versions of Mac OS X, you might encounter an error message warning you that you are using the wrong architecture. You just need to re-open the model, save it, and recompile, to make sure an updated lsd_gnu file has been created.
