I recently installed 1. PGPLOT 5 (ver: 5.2.2-15) through Synaptic Package Manager from ubuntu - MOTU-Developers (Mathematics, Multiverse) 2. IFEFFIT from Carlo Segre < segre@debian.org>, (version 2:1.2.11d-6~lucid0 ) and 3. Horae-07-1 through Synaptic Package Manager from ubuntu - developers (Science, Multiverse) I am not able to run the demo programs. So I started running demo programs for PGPLOT first. My examples are in directory: /usr/share/doc/pgplot5/examples/pgdemo2.f.gz When I compile the program "depgplot10.f" and executed the file, the interaction on the console is attached in the file attached herewith. I need help in this regard and I am very very new to "xafs" as well as ubuntu.

As far as I can tell from the message you attached, you ran a PGPLOT demo program that requires a cursor for user input, selected a device that does not support user input, and got a message saying so. That seems reasonable to me... you might try selecting the /XW device. But, is running the PGPLOT demos your goal? What does that have to do with Ifeffit? If running Ifeffit is the goal, what happens when you try to run the programs ifeffit or athena? What does "I am not able to run the demo programs" mean? --Matt
