Re: [Ifeffit] Larch install error on MacOS 12.2

Hi Stefan, I hope it's kind of obvious, but telling us "it doesn't work" is not going to ever get a reply other than "follow the instructions and report back any errors you may get". You have not given us any error messages. What do you mean by 'larch -m' did not work? Did it give any error messages? If so, what were they? If not, why didn't you say that? When you installed with 'GetLarch.sh', what does the log file say about its installation? Did you try opening a Terminal and running ~/xraylarch/bin/xas_viewer ? If so, what does that report?

Dear Matt,

sorry for the delayed feedback, my time for testing is pretty limited.

1. tried to start the old installation, but XAS viewer didn’t start 2. installed binary installer and tried to create new ICONs, didn’t work (used all command described on the webpage) 3. Install via script on the web page, installer said everything fine, start-up icons (XAS-viewer) created, but they didn’t start up.

so next thing I will do is to install anaconda again, and try it via the instruction Jeff Terry pointed to

# Create new environment conda config --add channels conda-forge conda create -n exafs python=3.7 conda activate exafs

larch -m

more testing probably this evening …

Hi Stefan,

Sorry for the trouble. I would definitely recommend deleting and starting over with the binary installer. If you run into trouble with that, running the "GetLarch.sh" in a Terminal would probably be the most helpful, as it will create a log file that might have some clues about what went wrong. And, like Jeff said, if you don't get the Larch folder of Apps, typing ~/xraylarch/bin/larch -m

in a Terminal should remake those.

Dear all,

I upgraded a machine to 12.2 (MacPro), Larch was installed via binary installer. Afterwards Larch didn’t launch. I did a re-install with the binary installer and this didn’t work, because already installed. deleted it, but this also didn’t work

tried

pip install xraylarch

stopped with ERROR: Failed building wheel for fabio Failed to build fabio

also no director with XAS viewer created.

best regards
