[Ifeffit] Artemis error message

rdinp is the input routine for feff -- the error message means that  
for some reason feff6 could not open the input file (e.g. feff is  
running correctly and cannot find the input file).  Now in the echo  
area, artemis claims the feff.inp file is being created.  feff will  
attempt to open an "feff.inp" file from the directory in which it is  
invoked (e.g. something like:

  ls -l ~/.horae/stash/artemis.project.1/data0.feff3:
total 776
drwxr-xr-x   41 paulfons  paulfons   1394 Sep  5 19:07 ./
drwxr-xr-x   13 paulfons  paulfons    442 Sep  5 19:07 ../
-rw-r--r--    1 paulfons  paulfons    701 Sep  5 19:07 atoms.inp
-rw-r--r--    1 paulfons  paulfons   6388 Sep  5 19:07 feff.inp
-rw-r--r--    1 paulfons  paulfons   7228 Sep  5 19:07 feff.run
-rw-r--r--    1 paulfons  paulfons   4666 Sep  5 19:07 feff0001.dat
-rw-r--r--    1 paulfons  paulfons   4666 Sep  5 19:07 feff0002.dat

You must be in this directory for feff to work (e.g. from the  
terminal).  You might try this and see what happens.  Otherwise, the  
error message for feff is correct -- there probably was no feff.inp  
in the directory you ran it from.  I am still not clear on the cause  
though.
