[Ifeffit] Demeter on ubuntu 14.04

[Edmund Welter]

... Okay, now on ubuntu 16.04. it worked including larch. Not completely 
without some pain, but almost. I installed it as user. It was missing wx 
and my attempts to install it from cpan were failing. Installing from 
repositories solved the issue and Demeter build without problems after that.

Cheers,

Edmund
