Thanks for your answer Bruce. Don't spoil your holidays/vacation for this! I had done the "perl Build.pl" or "./Build installdeps" steps. In fact I tried a clean install with all those steps. Right now, I tried the touch_wrapper you mentionned without success. I also tried an install as root for all the steps: no success either. I'm stuck and it might be something stupid I can't see. When you have some time to have a look, let me know, there's no rush right now. Cheers denis Le 22/05/2014 15:09, ifeffit-request@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov a écrit :

I'm on vacation right now and only have my tablet, so typing a decent response is a challenge.

...

From what you included, it looks as though you pulled or cloned the latest from within, but did not do the "perl Build.pl" or "./Build installdeps" steps. If not starting from a clean install, it may help to also "./Build touch_wrapper".

I'll be with email only sporadically for a while, unfortunately.

Dear members of the list,

it's that time of the (Linux) Ubuntu life cycles where you do upgrades and break previously working programs... Upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 made no exception for me. It also broke the old Hephaestus programs, but I think it is definitely time that I stop being lazy and switch to Demeter. So I'll focus on the Demeter problems. Sorry about the lengthy post full of pasted error messages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Context: I'm running Ubuntu 64 bits 14.04. Demeter version 0.9.20. I followed Ubuntu specific instructions found here: https://gist.github.com/3959252 Demeter once worked but I cannot guarantee that it did just before the upgrade to 14.04. After the upgrade, both trying to run dathena or to rebuild the package ran into errors such as:

So I erased the folders and reinstalled everything. The installation ran smoothly (except I had to install missing deps several times, but no error messages at the end). Now I can start the programs but run into problems:

For Dephaestus: everything works, I can plot f' and f" (gnuplot is working) but when I try to plot some XANES references in the standards tab, it crashes with:

Similar story and message (at least the first line, since the rest is a bit obscure for me) for Dathena when I try to import a data file from an old Athena .prj project (i.e., as far as I understand and remember things, a file where there is no interactive import window to select columns, references, etc.).

Finally, still Dathena when I try to import a new data file (i.e., a file where I expect an interactive import window to select the columns), there is no error message in the shell, but in the bottom line of the Dathena GUI window, it says that the file "cannot be read as data. (Do you need to enable a plugin?). The thing is I never had to enable a plugin for such a data file (the data file is the cu10k.dat file that you provided in the Ifeffit CD some time ago, and you might still provide today).

OK, enough. Let me know if I can try different things to help source the problem. Regards. Denis
