Thank you for the input Matt. I am glad to hear that it is not “user error”. I tried it again and I need to correct my earlier statement because Artemis GUI will stay open after the warning however Athena closes/crashes. I will try on a different system. Thanks again, Chris Sent from my iPhone

I tried to install demeter on my mac (running high Sierra) and it appeared everything went well. However when I run either Athena or Artemis I get an error shown below about Demeter::Templates: showing a error and I am not sure how I can correct this error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,

I can confirm this. I just did a fresh install of Macports on 10.13.3 (high sierra). The MacPorts install was not super easy, but once it got to the demeter install, that part went fine.

I see the same problem with athena from demeter 0.9.25. I think the warnings about "Demeter::Templates::F" and so forth are meant to be warnings only -- I think they may not be related to the crash of athena. For me, hephaestus gives the same sort of warnings, but runs fine.

I can install and run Demeter 0.9.26 (including using Larch as a backend) using Macports, though there are definitely some Mac-specific weirdness. Anyway, I do not believe that "install from source" is a feasible approach for demeter on OSX. I do not know enough about Macports to update the existing package. I don't know that using some other system would be an improvement.

We keep seeing problems with demeter on OSX. I'm not sure what the right answer is. Anyone have any suggestions?

Luke, Many thanks Luke. Error is gone and Athena didn't crash on open. Bruce, I am unsure how the two were related but I am good to go. Thanks for everyone's comments, Chris On Tue, Apr 3, 2018 at 12:47 PM, Luke Higgins wrote:

Hi All,

I see this error too. This is a bit of a bodge job, but if you replace:

/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26/Text/Template.pm

With the attached template.pm from p5.24, it seems to work fine. I’d just rename the old Template.pm in the same directory, rather than deleting it – since another program may end up needing the most recent one.

Cheers,

Luke

Hi Bruce, Just for clarification (or perhaps to confuse matters more!), I do not see these warnings or crash with Demeter from github master branch with Perl 5.26 from MacPorts, which is using Text::Template v 1.52 (not 1.47 as Luke attached). I did see the warnings and crash with Demeter 0.9.25 from MacPorts. --Matt

Those are only warnings and should not be related to whatever is causing Athena to crash. I am confused why those warnings get reported. I am using the same version of perl as Chris (5.26), so presumably the same version of Text::Template. I don't see those warnings and don't understand why they would show up on a different system. That said, I can think of a couple ways to suppress those warnings, but it is something someone would have to volunteer to test for me.
