Well the subject basically states the problem. I am a mac user and athena and friends work out of the box without problem. Here at SPring-8, I just tried to install horae into both a windows 2000 and and xp machine and am having some trouble with properly displaying graphics. The install goes fine (all default values chosen), however, when athena is asked to do a plot, the graphics window opens, but only (apparently) the background is drawn. As I just tried this on two (Japanese language) machines here, one running 2000 and one running XP, I thought someone must have seen this problem before and found a solution. Any ideas? I am not a windows user, so I have a very limited understanding of why things might not work right (dll conflicts being one such example). Thanks for any help.
I am not hugely more knowledgable about these things -- particularly when non-western languages are involved. That said, I have observed my software working on a Japanese version of a windows operating system. A few questions: 1. I presume that you are trying this with raw data known to work on other computers (say the copper data that comes with the examples). Do you see this behavior with any data? Do you see this behavior when importing a project file known to work on another computer? 2. Does anything interesting get written to the console? The console is the other item on the task bar labeled "Athena". It typically stays on the task bar and should be blank if enerything is working well. 3. Does anything interesting get written to the ifeffit buffer? Lots of blue text in the ifeffit buffer is Athena's way of highlighting ifeffit confusion.
