Hi Mark,
Ever since the Windows version of Athena was released, I've been hooked. I couldn't wait for a Windows version of Artemis, so after a week of pondering the best way to re-introduce Linux to my PC, I have installed Linux, PGPlot, Ifeffit, Athena and Artemis this morning.
Great! I should mention that there are a few more GUIs on the near horizon.
self.iff_dir = os.getenv('IFEFFIT_DIR) Attribute Error: getenv
Oops: Ifeffit is assuming python2.0 or higher. Of course, I always install the latest on my own machines, so I've never noticed this. But since even RedHat 7.3 ships with python 1.5, this is not a good assumption. A quick fix is to change this to self.iff_dir = os.environ['IFEFFIT_DIR'] but then you absolutely have to make sure that the environmental variable IFEFFIT_DIR is set (probably to /usr/local/share/ifeffit). gifeffit should run then. To get the perl/Tk stuff to work correctly, try installing Atoms-3.0. This should install all the necessary extensions. It is admittedly somewhat circular since atoms wants Ifeffit installed, and Ifeffit tries to install athena, which needs all these other perl/Tk components. Hopefully we can get all of these things fixed for the next version. Hope that helps, --Matt
