[Ifeffit] iXAFS3.0 - not much luck so far

[Brugger, Joel (SAM)]

Hi Matt,

Not much luck with iXAFS3.0 so far. 

Under 10.5.8 (two macbooks), iXAFS crashes at startup.

Under 10.6.4 (macbook pro), IXAFS opens, but clicking on athena/Artemis/Hephaestus only opens an X11 terminal.

I think that somehow the installer expects perl to live in /Users/Newville/:

$ pwd
/Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin
b$ artemis
-bash: /Applications/iXAFS.app/Contents/Resources/local/bin/artemis: /Users/Newville/Codes/ifeffit/local//bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
$ 



I also tried to install python, but something must be wrong with setup.py since files are copied to /Users/Newville. I now have such an inhabitant on my HD thanks to sudo, but even then the install failed. See details below.

Hope it’s nothing traumatic!

Thanks, JOEL
