Hello All- I have just downloaded and installed the ifeffit.1.2.8.exe package for Windows XP from a mirror to sourceforge. The installation appeared to run just fine. I read the note on website about using the runner.exe instead of the individual executable files. When I click on the runner.exe, a window asks me what application I would like to run (Athena, Artemis, etc.). The window disappears, and nothing happens for about a minute after which an error window appears asking me to check the runner.exe.log. The last line of each log entry reads "timeoutsocket.Timeout: Attempted connect to ('164.54.160.111', 80) timed out." I get the same error each time I try to run the software, regardless of which application I select. Any advice? I would be happy to forward the runner.exe.log to anyone who can/is willing to help. Thanks. Luke. Luke N. Brewer, Ph.D. Sandia National Laboratory Materials Characterization Dept.

I think I know the problem -- Matt may have more wisodm. The first version of the runner did not play well without a reliable internet connection. It would seem you have been bitten by this problem. Possible solution #1: If, in fact, you were on a computer with out an internet connection (either by design or because it was temporarily down), make sure the computer is connected and try again. Possible solution #2: Grab this file: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/updates/iff_001.zip and unpack it by hand in C:\Program File\Ifeffit\ (or wherever you installed the whole ifeffit package). That file is the first updater package. It updates the runner as well as Athena, Artemis, and a bunch of documents and example. For more info on how the runner works and how updates happen, see the wiki: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/IfeffitOnWindows/RunnerProgram HTH, B -- Bruce Ravel ---------------------------------------------- bravel@anl.gov Molecular Environmental Science Group, Building 203, Room E-165 MRCAT, Sector 10, Advance Photon Source, Building 433, Room B007 Argonne National Laboratory phone and voice mail: (1) 630 252 5033 Argonne IL 60439, USA fax: (1) 630 252 9793 My homepage: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
