Re: [Ifeffit] iXAFS3.0 - not much luck so far

Hi All, Looks like it works now on intel machines.. I can run ifeffit from the iXAFS shell. The iXAFS app is not universal though, it is Intel only. Nice job Matt. Jeff On Sep 6, 2010, at 10:17 AM, Matt Newville wrote:

Hi Joel, All,

Yes, sorry for that. I'm still learning how to do this. Here's the latest news (some progress, incomplete):

With Jeff's earlier message I looked into and solved at least one of the problems: that /Users/Newville/Codes/ifeffit/local/bin/perl was all over the place and expected. Of course, this worked when I tested it on my own machine!! I also found an issue with png support.

I put a 3.0.1 dmg with these changes at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ifeffit/src/iXAFS3.0.1.dmg

I believe this may work on 10.6 systems.

I tried this on a 10.5.7, i386 system (Julie's). The main iXAFS app runs, but I unfortunately get 'dyld' loading errors for all executables (including perl and ifeffit). I do not understand this, as thhe executables are definitely listed as "universal", ut I suspect it is a x86_64 v i386 issue. If anyone does understand this, please let me know. FWIW, the machine I'm building on is less than 3 months old, so I think it's x86_64, but 'arch' and 'uname -p' report i386. On the build machine, running arch -x86_64 ifeffit runs fine. arch -i386 ifeffit runs, but Aquaterm does not generate a plot (using PGPLOT_DEV=/XS does generate a plot with both settings). So my sense is that my box is really x86_64, but reports i386 and this may be causing trouble on real i386 machines.

What's stranger is that I also tried this on a very old G4 powerpc, running 10.5. Here the iXAFS.app does not run, and indeed the iXAFS executable (iXAFS.app/Contents/MacOS/iXAFS) is indeed i386 only. But, the ifeffit application DOES RUN(!!!) on this machine. Perl runs too, but it appears I forgot to rebuild Ifeffit.pm for perl after some change for png support because perl -e 'use Ifeffit' still complains about png support. This is fixable. I'll look into making the iXAFS launcher application be universal.

The python problem is definitely fixable too -- sorry for such poor testing!

If you or Jeff or someone else wants to try this v3.0.1 out, that would be fine, but there are definitely "known problems". I'll make a v3.0.2 with the perl and python fixes today. I'll look into the i386 v x86_64 issues too, but that will take some research...

Cheers,

--Matt

Hi Matt,

Not much luck with iXAFS3.0 so far.

Under 10.5.8 (two macbooks), iXAFS crashes at startup.

Under 10.6.4 (macbook pro), IXAFS opens, but clicking on athena/Artemis/Hephaestus only opens an X11 terminal.

I think that somehow the installer expects perl to live in /Users/Newville/:

$ pwd /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin b$ artemis -bash: /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin/artemis: /Users/Newville/Codes/ifeffit/local//bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory $

I also tried to install python, but something must be wrong with setup.py since files are copied to /Users/Newville. I now have such an inhabitant on my HD thanks to sudo, but even then the install failed. See details below.

Hope it’s nothing traumatic!

Thanks, JOEL
