Hi Dean, 

I am not sure what you mean by reinstalling x11 from the mrcat site. I didn't know it was posted there. 
Anyway, I see this behavior on occasion when Artemis is having trouble opening a file. The Aquaterm
window pops up with the normal splash screen. 

I work around this by just putting a directory in the project or directory window. For me it doesn't occur often,
but always with the same files.

This is under 10.5.2 on an intel mac.

Hello,

For months, I have been happily using IXAFS for Mac OSX - excellent program!  I am now having problems launching Artemis.  An Aquaterm graphics window opens, but the actual Artemis program does not.  If I keep trying, periodically Artemis appears as if it will launch, but the message about cleaning up extra sessions comes  up, and whether I "clean up" or "keep" the sessions and/or close the Aquaterm windows beforehand, the Artemis program quits without opening.

The only unusual action today was that I was working with several Athena windows opened at once, but had quit all Athena sessions before trying to launch Artemis.  I tried downloading and re-installing "X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0"  from http://mrcat.iit.edu, restarted the computer, etc., but to no avail.  Athena seems to run fine.  Even after re-installing and restarting, I sometimes receive the multiple sessions cleanup message, so perhaps I need to delete certain files before cleanly re-installing IXAFS.  I did remove (trashed) IXAFS from the Applications folder before re-installing.

I'm using a Mac Pro Dual Core Intel with
Mac OSX version 10.4.11
X11 version 1.1.3

I appreciate any suggestions for fixing this problem, or a lead to a previous posting if this problem has already been discussed here.

Dean

Hi All,

iXAFS version 2 for Mac OS X 10.4 and above has been released as a
beta version. We have tested this version on ppc and intel macs
running OS X 10.4 and 10.5.

You must have Apple's version of X11 installed in order to use iXAFS.

Ken McIvor put in yeoman's work to build the full ifeffit, horea suite
as a universal binary. He packaged it as a single drag and drop
installation within iXAFS.

Ken wanted to post this message but had an illness in the family.
Hopefully, we can all thank Ken for his work to get this built in a
manner that should work on all modern Macs.

A link to download this version of iXAFS can be found at the MRCAT
website:


We forgot to put in the documentation that the iXAFS shell allows you
to run any of the programs from the command line ifeffit, feff6, etc.

Jeff
