[Ifeffit] Artemis: Error in laoding additional FEFF paths?

[Matt Newville]

Hi Stafano,

I'm not sure the 'loading additional FEFF paths' issue is an
installation problem.  But for what it's worth here's what I
recommend as a 'source install' on Mac OS X, assuming you have 
a machine with a fast internet connection:

0. install fink and fink's g77 and wget.

1. install the Ifeffit binary from ifeffit-1.2.5a_Mac10.3.dmg.
   This step is to install PGPLOT correctly: the problem in 
   question is not with PGPLOT.

2. install Perl/Tk from source:  
   2.1 download Tk-804.027.tar.gz from a CPAN site
       ~> wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/NI-S/Tk-804.027.tar.gz
   2.2 unpack Tk-804.027
       ~> tar xvzf Tk-804.027.tar.gz
   2.3 change line 2809 of pTk/mTk/tixGeneric/tixHList.c  from 
        '#if 0' 
       to 
        '#if 1'
   2.4 build Perl/Tk:
       ~>perl Makefile.PL ; make 
   2.5 install Perl/Tk
       ~>sudo make install

3. install ifeffit from source:
   3.1 download: 
       ~>wget http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/src/ifeffit-1.2.5.tar.gz
   3.2 unpack:
       ~>tar xvzf ifeffit-1.2.5.tar.gz
   3.3 configure
       ~>./configure --prefix=/Applications/Ifeffit
   3.4 build 
       ~> make
   3.5 install
       ~> sudo make install

4. install horae
   4.1 set up to use ifeffit:
       ~>. /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.sh  
       if you're using bash and 
       ~>source /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.csh  
       if you're using csh or tcsh (if you don't know 
       which shell you're using, try both and whichever 
       complains is the wrong one!)
   4.2 install horae
       ~>horae_update --force

Hope that helps.
