Paul,

Having now looked at your message, I must admit I am a little confused.  If you allow me to paraphrase, I believe you say that if you run artemis from an X11 window using the command line, feff runs normally.  On the other hand, if you run artemis using the double click application (the applet) to run artemis, feff doesn't work. 

exactly. The error message I get when I run Artemis using the double click on the icon (and that I do NOT get if I run Artemis from the X11 (or iTerm) window is explained here again:


This is very hard to understand as the only thing that is different (as you might have been able to see in my last post) is the environment variable, PGPLOT_DEV set in the runprog script is different (e.g. set to use aquaterm output).  There is nothing that could ostensibly effect whether or not feff launches (it certainly doesn't use graphics).

I get the error independently of the graphics window used (X11 or Aquaterm).

I understand that it may be difficult to sort out the source of the error. However, I am reporting just the facts.

Stefano
