BTW, it does not seem to be a problem with locale, I set it to "C" beforehand:

juan@maghemite:xraylarch$ locale
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C

Dear all,

I have been installing demeter from git under ubuntu 16.04 LTS, following the non-root instructions from:

https://gist.github.com/waveform80/3959252

I also installed xraylarch from git. Xaylarch is only missing:

#=== Warning: Some recommended Python Packages are missing:
    epics:  needed for using the EPICS control system
    pyFAI:  needed for xrd modules

It seems to work, but when I try to open a file that can be open properly from Athena installed on Windows, I get:

Trying Larch server: /home/juan/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/Demeter/share/ini/larch_server.ini
Trying Larch server:  larch_server -p 4968 start
larch_server port=4968: started

gnuplot> set xrange [ 6900130000 : 7955610000 ]
                     ^

gnuplot> set xrange [ 6900130000 : 7955610000 ]
                                  ^
        line 0: warning: integer overflow; changing to floating point

and although it opens the data in a gnuplot window, the scale is off (7x10^9 instead of 7x10^3). I am assuming once it is confused about the scale, it makes a mess with the data.

The output of probe -bv is:

Any help would be appreciated.
