[Ifeffit] struggling to install demeter under ubuntu 16.04

[mfehse]

hi

thanks for the hint, I installed the following gnuplot packages
libgnuplot-iostream-dev
libalien-gnuplot-perl
libchart-gnuplot-perl
libgraph-writer-dsm-perl
libgraphics-gnuplotif-perl
libpdl-graphics-gnuplot-perl

and am now able to launch the athena and it seems to work, however i 
still get the error message:
"Could not find Larch Server -- falling back to Ifeffit"
is this something i should care about?


many thanks
