Hello all,

I am having some troubles successfully building Demeter from source on my Linux machine. All dependencies appeared to install correctly -- a few errors pop up upon running ./Build test (full error report attached), but as best I could discern, the errors produced were the same as those reported in this recent message (https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg06782.html).

Athena appear to install correctly and even start correctly, but upon attempting to import any data file into Athena, the following error message pops up (screenshot also attached):

Ignoring this message allows Athena to import data correctly at first, but clicking some buttons will consistently and immediately cause the program to close, without even an error message popping up. Actions that will induce a crash range from selecting any Energy value besides 1 in column selection to things as innocuous as clicking Help>Show Tip.

As a result, though the program is (barely) usable, it is very unstable and prone to crashing without warning, causing frustrating data loss. I'm sure that this is due to some fault on my part during the installation process, and would welcome any guidance on how best to approach this issue.

Thanks,
