Hi Remi,

I noticed a typo in the commands you used. "selfupdate" should be one word, not two. Perhaps this was just a typo in your email, but if not then you may want to try running it again. Also, I noticed that the instructions at the Demeter website say to log out and log back in after installation, so you may want to try that if you have not.

If that is not the problem, here is the sequence I used to get Demeter working on my system:

1. install XQuartz 2.7.7 (xorg-server 1.15.2).
2. install Xcode
3. install command line tools by typing "xcode-select --install" in the terminal.
4. install macports: https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.3.3-10.10-Yosemite.pkg
5. ensure macports is working by typing "sudo port -v selfupdate" in the terminal.
6. run "sudo port upgrade outdated".
7. install Demeter using the command "sudo port install demeter-devel".
8. log out and log back in (I didn't need to do this, but the instructions say that it may be necessary in some cases).

You mentioned you already have Xcode and XQuartz installed. I don't know if this will fix your problem, but you could try uninstalling macports (http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling), then follow steps 3 through 8 above. I hope that helps.

Hello,

I’m currently using Athena using the iXAFS 3.0.3 application, which is – if I’ve well understood – an old version no longer updated (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/Downloads).

So, today I tried to install the current version by installing Demeter, following the procedure detailed at http://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/.

I’ve *carefully* installed Macports 2.3.3, i.e., installed Xcode 6.4, agreed to Xcode licence, and installed Macports for OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
I runned the sudo port -v self update command
Then sudo port install xorg-server demeter
And port upgrade outdated to ensure everything is up to date
Plus, I have XQuartz 2.7.7 installed.

Here is my problem.
Athena launches well from the Terminal (in home directory), I have the main window (pearl5.22), I can import data or load former athena projects etc, but there is no plot window. No error message shows up in the terminal. However I can still produce a PNG of the plot I’m desperately trying to see via Plots/Save last plot as...

I’ve seen a similar thread concerning such an issue in OS X Mavericks but couldn’t solve it from what was explained there (http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2014-January/011644.html). I guess the issue comes from the DISPLAY environment but I don’t have any clue to solve that.

Thank you in advance for your help, 
I think it may be useful for other users,

Kind regards,

Rémi
