[Ifeffit] Athena can not open any file

[Bruce Ravel]

Hi Gilberto,

This is my favorite category of bug -- one that's not my fault! ;-)

The problem you are seeing is due to a bug in the most recent release
of perl/Tk.  I have informed the author and the problem has been fixed
in his SVN repository, but a new release with the problem fixed has
not happened yet.

Fortunately, the work-around was simple and was integrated into
athena.  If you grab the latest version of athena (as a tarball from
my web site or from SourceForge or as the source tree from my SVN
repository) you will find that athena works well with the version of
perl/Tk you have on your machine.

PS:  I started a new FAQ question about pgplot and 64 bit linux at

   http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/FAQ/Installing_Ifeffit

If you could document your experiences there, that would be very
helpful to the community.  See the question about "How can I add to or
edit this FAQ?"  at

   http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/FAQ/General_Questions

if you do not already have an account on the ifeffit wiki.
