Hi Matt, hi Bruce, no need to point fingers and it was no trouble for me. Thanks for fixing the problem so fast :) I am sorry for spamming you Bruce. I wrote to you directly, because I followed the "BUGS AND LIMITATIONS" paragraph at http://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/pods/installation.pod.html#BUGS_AND_LIMI... Today, I gave the installation of Demeter on Fedora 18 x86_64 another try and at the end of the process (including hacks) I could start dathena and other programs of Demeter. Though no data processing done, yet. Some more notes/questions. ### ifeffit I noticed that there is PGPlot package in RPMFusion (additional repository to Fedora). Can I use this package and skip the ./PGPLOT_install step or shall I shun the package? If you have no experience with this package I can give it a try on Fedora 18 x86_64. Due to the more recent version of libpng on Fedora 18 I had to use ./PGPLOT_install --no-png otherwise I would get major problems during compilation of ifeffit/demeter (wxGTK does not cope with libpng12-devel; removing libpng would remove a lot of other programs as well). The output of ./configure still contains: "./configure: line 3355: #include: command not found" but this is only a minor problem. ### demeter With the latest version of the Demeter git repo there is an error in the output of $ perl ./Build.PL on line 40 of demeter/Build.PL MooseX::Types:LaxNum cannot be replaced with MooseX::Types::LaxNum to fix the problem. At least it did not work out for me. If you do that you will get the following output: $ perl ./Build.PL Checking prerequisites... requires: ! Couldn't find a $VERSION in prerequisite MooseX::Types::LaxNum So I installed the perl package manually $ sudo cpan -i 'MooseX::Types:LaxNum' and commented line 40 in demeter/Build.PL in order to continue. In the output of $ ./Build test several lines point out that "1.14_01 isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at (eval 1820 line 1)". And the final summary is: ---8<--- Test Summary Report: Failed 2/44 test programs. 0/2646 subtests failed. ---8<--- I will try the installation on Ubuntu 12.04 i686 in order to find out if some test programs fail there as well. Although the return code was non-zero (255 that is) I continued with $ ./Build install $ echo $? 0 and it worked out just fine. dartemis and dathena could be started. Unfortunately I close the terminal window before creating a log. I will redo the installation of Demeter on Fedora 18 x86_64 in order to automate the installation for reuse. In the process I can create logs as required. -- Kind regards, René
