I just installed Ifeffit on my new linux machine using gfortran. I ran into the same issue. My solution (and I mean that in the sense of getting past the road block -- I have no idea if I did the right thing algorithmically) was to uncomment the definition of the umask variable and change the trailing digit from 8 to 7. I also commented out the line with: umask = lmask + 1 Things compiled and seem to work.

I don't think I have a gfortran 4.2.1 available. The 'umask = lmask +1' approach worked with gfortran 4.1.2, but it did not work with 4.1.1 (where worked = 'gives numerically same as g77').

OTOH, using umask = -lmask - 1 worked with both gfortran 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Perhaps that will work in general?

I compiled using gfortran 4.2.1 on my Debian unstable box and this approach worked fine. I think that Matt is right that it seems to be a general solution for gfortran. Carlo -- Carlo U.

Thanks Carlo,

I'll take that as a positive report and post new versions of the tar file.

FWIW, the Intel Fortran Compiler 10.0 on Wndows didn't complain at all about umask = -2**31. I don't know if that has any bearing on how the Intel compiler for Unices will behave, but 'umask = -lmask - 1' does feel right.

I did not try the umask = -2**31. Perhaps I will do so and give you a report later today. Carlo -- Carlo U.

Hi Carlo, OK, thanks for checking.. With 'umask = -2**31' the '-2**31' must be interpreted as a literal and so not allowed (of course, the whole thing is quite weird so I'm not sure I can predict what will work). Anyway, umask = -lmask -1 it is, at least until we find a compiler that chokes on that. Sounds like one more reason to stop using f77 as the sole language. --Matt

I have made a Mac installer for Ifeffit 1.2.10 and have uploaded it to sourceforge.net. The link should be http:// downloads.sourceforge.net/ifeffit/Ifeffit-1.2.10- Mac10.4_PPC_horae066_pkg.dmg. I have updated the wiki as well to mention the new version. Let me know of any problems. It seems to work fine here. Paul On Sep 21, 2007, at 4:25 AM, Bruce Ravel wrote:

Hi all,

I just uploaded the new tarball for my codes to SourceForge and to my web site. The versions in this source tarball are the versions in the Windows installer Matt announced yesterday.

There are a number of changes for the Windows users. This version uses more up-to-date versions of Perl amd of perl/Tk. Also, ini files and other files written by the programs are now written to personal space rather than system space. This means that in the future you will be able to upgrade without blowing away any customizations you may have made.

============================================================== We STRONGLY encourage all Windows users to download the latest installer and upgrade their computers. ==============================================================

There are no major changes in any of the programs, however a large number of bugs and problems discovered since the APS XAFS summer school have been fixed.

Hi Folks,

I've just uploaded Ifeffit 1.2.10 to the cars.uchicago.edu and sourceforge.net sites.

I'm posting both source code (ifeffit-1.2.10.tar.gz) and a Windows installer (ifeffit-1.2.10.exe) which includes the latest versions of Hephaestus, Athena, and Artemis. Installers for Mac users shouldn't be too far behind.

For now, the downloads page at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/ Downloads links to both 1.2.10 and 1.2.9 versions. It may take a day or so for the files to show up on all the sourceforge.net mirrors.

The new Windows Installer reflects a new build process for the underlying library. This took some time to work out (you may recall some emails about this over the summer) , but we think it is working as well as any previous version. There are quite a few changes to Bruce's codes, all for the better. And this version does install and work on Windows Vista.

For the source code kit, this now uses a new install location for PGPLOT, so if you're installing you must run PGPLOT_Install before installing ifeffit. Also in this version is support for (and default use of) gfortran instead of g77. If you need to use a different fortran compiler from the one found by default, you can use ./PGPLOT_Install --with-fortran=g77 ./configure --with-fortran=g77 make install

As always, let us know if there are any problems. Cheers,
