Katy, The only other thing that I can think of is that there were two versions released, one with and one without feff6. Make sure that you have the latest version. http://mrcat.iit.edu/iXAFSinstall.tar.gz Jeff On Jul 16, 2007, at 9:09 PM, Katie Evans wrote:

Thanks for the advice, but sadly it didn't work. I also tried deleting the whole .horae and Perl folders and then reinstalling iXAFS, but that didn't help either. I checked the artermisrc file and it does say feff6 in the correct place, it just doesn't seem to be able to find feff6.

Any more tips? Cheers, Katy

Hi Katy,

I ran into this problem about two weeks ago. I have no idea why, it had worked fine for a few months before that. Paul's suggestion worked for me.

I can't say I have had this problem with either of my Intel Macs, but I do know a solution that seems to have worked for others... that is to delete the preferences file for artemis which is located in your home directory under ".horae" and is named "artemisrc". Note that the "." (dot) in the directory name. This causes the finder and the default unix file listing "ls" command to not output the name as such preference files are considered "noise". To delete the preference file you should run the command "rm ~/.horae/ artemisrc". This hopefully will help things... Paul On Jul 16, 2007, at 2:46 AM, Katy Evans wrote:

Hi,

Apologies if this question has a very simple answer but I can't work it out. I installed the iXAFS package onto my new Mac (OSX 10.4.8) and almost everything works very well and it is very pleasant to use so thankyou.

BUT Feff6 won't run.

I can fit to existing Feff calculations but I can't make new ones, from .inp files that used to work on my other computer, or from quick first shell calculations.

The message from Artemis starts 'This error is probably due to having Artemis configured incorrectly and so it does not know how to run Feff on your computer...' and goes on to say that I should check the value of the Feff executable in Preferences, and set it to Feff6. So I checked it and it was indeed Feff6.

I looked for Feff6 on my computer and could only find a Feff6.atp file in the Perl directory (/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread- multi-2level/Xray/atp) - should there be anything else? I tried typing this address into the box for the Feff executable option but this didn't help.

I tried to remove everything and reinstall from the disk image but I am not sure if that was successful since I still only got the option to 'upgrade' when I clicked on the installer package. Where are all the things I need to remove if I want to get rid of the old version?

Thankyou, Katy
