[Ifeffit] Iffeffit1.5.2a compilation troubles

Hello folks,

the reasons why I wanted to build from source instead of using the 
binary installer was due to the fact that I was trying to get the ZnO 
tutorials to run smoothly as I was told happened in Paul's and 
Bruce's G4. I thought that would ask for a detailed set of 
installation instructions.

Now I understand better, so I did erase the /Applications/Ifeffit 
directory, deleted the /Library/perl directory and re-run the binary 
installer for 1.2.5a

I checked and the aquaterm application started smoothly when called 
from athena or artemis. I had in the meantime deleted the aquaterm in 
fink, just in case...

Afterwards I ran the horae_update --force command, as told by Paul, 
and now I think things should go OK.
I confirm the presence of the ZnO tutorial as indicated by Paul:

% pwd
/Applications/Ifeffit/bin/horae-036/examples/artemis/ZnO

So now I am back to where I was a few days ago.

Now I start artemis by clicking on the icon and read in the ZnO.chi 
data, and guess what: aquaterm does NOT start. The conclusion would 
be that the problem occurs when I update horae to horae-036.

However: I erased again the /Applications/Ifeffit directory, deleted 
the /Library/perl directory and re-run the binary installer for 1.2.5a

Now, the ZnO directory is no longer present in the directory above. I 
had saved it in another directory, but when I run artemis by clicking 
the icon and try to read in the files in the ZnO directiy,  the 
aquaterm does NOT start!!! Please explain this to me.

I ran the horae_update command, and again the aquaterm does not start 
when I try to read in spectra

I ran the horae_update --force command and again the aquaterm does 
not start when I try to read in spectra

Now, I deleted again the /Applications/Ifeffit and the /Library/perl 
directories and re-run the binary installer, as well as the 
horae_update --force command and again the aquaterm does not start 
when I try to read in spectra

I deleted again the same two directories and re-run the binary 
installer: when I start athena from the icon, and I try to read in 
data, the aquaterm does not start when I try to read in spectra.

I am now in a condition where I cannot get the aquaterm to start in 
any of the endless trials I did.

You guys keep telling me to replace iconf_pgplot with the version in 
Matt's recent posting to this list. I do not have any file that looks 
like that...

I am lost.
Stefano
