Has anyone else had this problem? I thought I had writtent things such that the name of the feff executable got set to "feff6" on unix and "feff6l" on Windows, so I am surprised that you had this problem.
My student had this problem on a Windows XP machine. We changed it by hand as well.
OK. I looked into this issue and realized that I made a mistake months ago in the configuration system that effects windows users but not unix users. I have fixed it, after a fashion. I don't see a way to fix the problem retroactively. That is, if you have already installed artemis on your windows computer, you will have to go to the preferences dialog and reset the name of the Feff executable. After the next release, future installations of artemis will not suffer from this problem. Just to clarify -- if you press the "Run feff" button and feff doesn't run or something even worse happens, you will need to configure artemis to use the correct name of the feff executable. You can do this by choosing "Edit preferences" from the Settings menu, then setting "Feff->feff_exectuable" to the correct program name. The version of feff6 that comes with Ifeffit is called "feff6L". This is the same procedure you use to run feff7 or feff8 with Artemis. Thanks to Scott and Gerrit for making me aware of this problem. Boy, I am so looking forward to going home today!
