Stefano,
Feff6 is an executable. When it runs it needs a file named feff.inp
to be in the current working directory, otherwise it will say:
Feff 6L.02
Fatal Error: cannot open file "feff.inp" in module rdinp
which is exactly what you got when you typed 'feff6' in a directory
without a feff.inp file. That doesn't tell us a lot, but it does mean
that this version of feff6 is at least not corrupted, so the Installer
is probably fine.
The first error message from Artemis that you sent:
"The error is probably due to having Artemis configured...."
and gave an "Uh-Oh" in the Echo Buffer is definitely what Artemis
says when it cannot find feff6. You said you got this when the
feff_executable was set to 'feff6'. Did you try setting feff_executable
to '/Applications/Ifeffit/bin/feff6'? Note that spelling counts. You
could open a Terminal, type 'which feff6' and paste that into the
feff_executable field.
Note to Bruce: How about having a "browse" button for selecting
the feff_executable?

Well, it *should* work that way, but using /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/feff6
will definitely work. It does work for several of us.
Hope that helps,
