Hi Ivan, OK! I just pushed a fix to github that turns off the use of larch in Athena. If you do "git pull" and rebuild demeter, I think you'll be happy. I don't think there are similar problems lurking in Demeter's head at github at the moment, but surely you'll let me know if anything goes wrong! Again, sorry for the confusion. I really need to be more careful in the future. B PS: For those following Larch developments, I have begun working on integrating the use opf larch into Demeter. I should have Athena working with larch within a month or two. At the moment, about 25% of Athena can use larch correctly. It's pretty exciting! I see about a 30 or 40 % speed improvement with Larch compared to Ifeffit, which is more or less consistent with what Matt reported here several weeks ago.

I'm really sorry. I left Demeter in a broken state on github. I am currently at work getting Demeter to use Larch, but it is most certainly not ready for prime-time.
I will disable the use of larch in Demeter and push that to github. I am currently at the beamline, so it will be an hour or two before I get to that. I'll post to the list when I do so.
At that time, do a "git pull" then rebuild and re-install Demeter.
Again, sorry for the confusion. 100% my fault for being sloppy.

Dear Bruce and other people in the list,
I have just installed Demeter from the git on Ubuntu 12.04 using instructions given by Dave Hughes (https://gist.github.com/waveform80/3959252). Everything went fine during installation but then I tried to start Athena using dathena command from the terminal and I got this message:
Demeter says: Uh oh! You have requested using Larch, but there is no Larch server running!
Then I installed Larch (with some problems during installation, but that is different story) and again tried starting Athena with the same result. When I tried starting Larch in a server mode with larch -r command it didn't offer a possibility to start Athena in the same terminal window. Then I opened a new tab in the terminal and just typed dathena and the GUI appeared. Now, I have two questions: 1. Do I have to start Larch server every time like this before using Athena or is there some other solution for this? 2. I tried Artemis without Larch server running and didn't get the error message. Is Artemis independent from Larch or are there some problems that might occur later?
