Hi, I installed demeter recently under 16.04 lts. In response to Juan's issues, I described what I did here: http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2016-November/008888.html One additional deviation was that I had already installed gfortran and gunplot (sudo apt install) beforehand. Matt noted in the next message that a larch issue needs addressing when importing files http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2016-November/008889.html but the ifeffit backend works. I haven't tried everything, but reading and processing a file in Athena works fine. -R. On 12/1/2016 6:21 AM, Bruce Ravel wrote:

In my struggle to install demeter under ubuntu 16.04 I'm slowly advancing. I think some of the packages that were supposed to be installed following the first line of the protocol were incomplete. I have redone this and have now managed to build the dathena and other files, but when I want to start it I get the following error message:

any ideas what might be the problem?
That seems to be saying that Graphics::GnuplotIF is not installed.
It should have been installed when you did the "./Build installdeps" step.
