Hi Brandon,

Did you actually test the python module (i.e. Use python scripting to control arthemis?)

On 10.6.4, I’ve obtain the following error:

bash-3.2$ python
  Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Dec 17 2009, 00:59:15)

. /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin/iff_init.sh is in my .profile and is loaded. Indeed, invoking libifeffit.dylib from the command line ‘works’:

bash-3.2$ libifeffit.dylib
bash: /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/lib/libifeffit.dylib: cannot execute binary file

bash-3.2$ ls -l libifeffit.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  1 joelb  admin  1500676 12 Sep 00:07 libifeffit.dylib

So close!

Godd news last: we did not try python scripting on another machine, but IFEFFIT appears to run perfectly on 10.5 now – thanks Matt (champagne cork noise).
