Hi Stefano, I had the same experience with the new horae_update not working for me this morning. This did not work on either Mac OS X or linux for me. On both systems, the downloaded file horae-05.tar.gz was an html file, which choked horae_update. I had to delete this, download the tar.gz file by hand and then run the usual perl Makefile.PL ;make ; make install. On Mac OS X, I also get the same error with athena, though hephaestus, artemis, and diana all start up OK. And athena started ok for me on linux. --Matt On Tue, 26 Apr 2005, Stefano Ciurli wrote:
Hello Bruce, thanks for the latest tarball.
I followed all instructions, but I find the following problems:
1) the updater you kindly refer to asks, at some point, to choose between option 1 and option 0: neither one works, so I manually downloaded the compressed horae050 from your site (I lost the exact message as I then downloaded the latest version and the updater tells that to me...)
2) I ran the commands :
gzip -dc horae-050.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd horae-050 perl Makefile.PL make
3) I here become root and issue the command:
make install
4) everything seems to be going smooth up to this point
5) when I either clic on the athena icon or run the program from the shell, I get the following error message:
% athena Tk::Error: Can't set -foreground to `black' for Tk::NumEntry=HASH(0x149371e0): unknown option "-foreground" at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Configure.pm line 46. at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Derived.pm line 294 Tk callback for .frame1.frame.canvas2.numentry Tk::Derived::configure at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Derived.pm line 306 Tk::Widget::new at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Widget.pm line 205 Tk::Widget::__ANON__ at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Widget.pm line 256 main::draw_properties at /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/athena line 1906 Can't set -foreground to `black' for Tk::NumEntry=HASH(0x149371e0): unknown option "-foreground" at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Configure.pm line 46. at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Tk/Derived.pm line 294

6) when I try to run artemis either by clicking on the icon or by issuing the line command, the program starts smoothly
In summary: there may be a problem in the updater and in the athena files.
