Launching Problem (D)Athena and Co.
by Alfred Hummer 30 Aug '12

Ok, I found the problem. There was a version of MinGW installed on the computer. I just placed the MinGW PATH variables after the strawberry ones, and it worked. So it was a special conflict between software packages on my PC. best, Alfred

Troubles opening saved Artemis (Demeter package) project files.
by Raimundo Lora Serrano 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi all, I'm new in the list and I didn't find any problem like this one in the Mail Archive. I have installed Demeter on Windows 7 (Ultimate version, SP1). Upon creating and saving a (new) Artemis project file I tried to open it both by double-clicking or by first launching Artemis and importing it from the "Open project data" option but the Artemis windows stick around a few seconds, and then disappear, along with the black DOS window. No notice of a crash appears; the program just fails to launch. This not only happens with this file but other files cannot be opened also after being saved. Any(s) suggestion(s)? Many thanks in advance. Raimundo

PCA in D-Athena
by BradleyW Miller 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello, I'm new to PCA analyses with my XANES data and started with the D-Athena. Are the TT Coefficients similar to a SPOIL value (SPOIL values are calculated as the quotient of real error in the target divided by the error in the data matrix)? I've seen that one researcher relied on SPOIL values <1 for populating his LCF models. The TT values of some of my standards I know to be unreasonable (e.g. reduced standard used for TT of an oxidized sample) gave me negative values. Should I only accept values >0. Thanks for your time. Respectfully, Bradley W. Miller, Ph.D. Post Doctoral Fellow Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education U. S.

Launching Problem (D)Athena and Co.
by Alfred Hummer 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello, I have some problems launching Demter programs on WIN7. The log file says: Can't load 'C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Wx/Wx.dll' for module Wx: load_file:Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden at C:/strawberry/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Wx/Perl/SplashFast.pm line 60 Compilation failed in require at C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dathena.bat line 21. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dathena.bat line 21. First of all Demeter was not able to start at all (no demeter.ini file). The reason was another Perl installation. I had ActivePerl installed on my computer. I removed the PATH variables and uninstalled it from the PC. After that I reinstalled Demeter. Now the demeter.ini is created but the above error occured. Anyone a clue? best wishes Alfred

Dear IFEFFIT subscribers: Please find below the information about the short course on X-ray absorption spectroscopy that will be organized at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Nov. 8-10, 2012 Either follow the link in the bottom of the NSLS web page: http://www.nsls.bnl.gov or go directly to the course web site: http://workshops.ps.bnl.gov/default.aspx?w=XANES2012 The short course in X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy will be offered on November 8-10 at the NSLS. To qualify for admission, participants should have prior background in XAS theory and/or experiment and data analysis. The course will consist of lectures, in-class demonstrations and hands-on data analysis sessions. The lectures cover the XANES fundamentals, surveys recent developments in theory and data analysis, the commonly used computer codes (FEFF and others), data modeling techniques, and specific applications of XANES to research problems. The course enrollment is limited to 30 participants. Application deadline: September 30, 2012. Best regards, Anatoly Frenkel Yeshiva University

ifeffit on Lion
by George Sterbinsky 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi list members, I am attempting to install ifeffit on mac book running Lion (10.7.4). I have downloaded and installed xcode and gfortran. I downloaded the iffeffit package from github. I then cd into .../Downloads/newville-ifeffit-30644e and run sudo ./PGPLOT_install I get the following error: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = PGPLOT installation script = system = linux == linux g77_gcc prefix = /usr/local/ = Looking for PGPLOT file: pgplot5.2.tar.gz = PGPLOT file not found = I'll try to download it for you... trying with regular old ftp you may have to hit return here for this to work -- Really, you won't need to enter 'anonymous' or a valid username --- just hit return ftp: Can't connect to `131.215.193.54': Connection refused ftp: Can't connect to `ftp.astro.caltech.edu' ./PGPLOT_install: line 176: 1407 Segmentation fault: 11 $ftp $pgp_ftpsite <<EOF anonymous ifeffit(a)cars.uchicago.edu cd $pgp_ftpdir hash get $pgp_file exit EOF = Sorry, I couldn't download the PGPLOT tar file. = You'll have to download it yourself. Try this: = ftp ftp.astro.caltech.edu = cd pub/pgplot/ = get pgplot5.2.tar.gz = then run this script again I then downloaded pgplot5.2.tar.gz, dropped this into newville...e and ran ./PGPLOT_install again. This gives the following message, which comes after numerous warnings: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Uh-oh. PGPLOT is missing some important files! = It looks like PGPLOT failed during building or = is only partially installed. = = Please consult the PGPLOT installation instructions = in the subdirectory pgplot/, and the log file: = /Users/gsterbinsky/Downloads/newville-ifeffit-306444e/PGPLOT_install.log = which contains a full list of commands run. = = You may want to repeat these steps by hand or = consult the PGPLOT installations instructions = in install-unix.txt = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I did some googling and found this explanation of what might be going on: http://mingus.as.arizona.edu/~bjw/software/pgplot_fix.html However, the iffefit INSTALL file says pgplot must be installed with the PGPLOT_install command, which these directions do not use. Furthermore, since iXAFS runs on Lion, it seems to me that someone may have already found a solution to this problem. So rather than trying more random solutions, I thought it might be pertinent to check with the list so see if that is the case. If anyone can provide any suggestions or a known solution to this problem, I would appreciate it. Thanks, George

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any experience modeling Mo2C in Artemis? I can't find any existing INP files for Mo2C. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Mo2C or knowledge or where I can find some relevant information. Thanks! Marc
