Writing to the list to update my situation http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit%40millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg05272.htm... with the EPA computers was on my list of things to do today. While we are both likely dealing with security issues, I don't know if this is the same problem we were having. We could not run Demeter even with admin privileges. The only possible way it would run was in safe mode.
My solution was to follow Matt's instructions http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit%40millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg05386.htm... to install Anaconda Python and Larch (which I apparently didn't need admin privileges for) and run Demeter with Larch as the backend instead of Ifeffit. DAthena opens using Larch, but I am having issues with some features. Mainly the LCF does not work quite right, but I'm not sure if that is just a problem with the reference library I am using or due to the issue on the Demeter to do list: "Use of stdev array in LCF is slightly incorrect, needs to be sensitive to the space in which the merge was made." Rebinning all the references in DAthena seems to help, but it still doesn't work for fitting in k space.
I am thrilled that Athena + Larch works at all for anyone besides me. That by itself seems like a triumph! I will be happy to entertain bug reports about Athena-using-Larch and I have no doubt that there will be many. It is, at this stage, very loosely tested software.
DAthena also runs on the slow side compared to old Athena on my work computer and DAthena on my personal computer which uses Ifeffit, but that could just be these computers.
Athena on Windows always seems dog slow to me, even on a pretty beefy computer. In truth, it's been a long time since I last tested Athena-using-Larch on Windows. Next month, when I am back from my holiday, I'll try to find some time to look into it. Cheers, B
I am using the 0.9.23 pre3 release. Hephaestus and Artemis also both open using Larch, though I haven't tried to use them.
