[Ifeffit] using the mail list archive for mac install

Tue Jul 10 00:42:08 CDT 2018

I ran into the problem that some people seem to have with Demeter on mac
while upgrading to High Sierra. I found a fix on this mail list, butŠ
1) I can¹t download Template.pm from the archive (bin file that uncompresses
to cpgz file that uncompresses back to a bin fileŠ)
2) Matt mentions that he installed 0.9.26 from macports, but I see only
0.9.25 (stable & develop).
Sorry for the trivial questions :-)
All the best, JOEL

Hi All,

I see this error too. This is a bit of a bodge job, but if you replace:

/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26/Text/Template.pm

With the attached template.pm from p5.24, it seems to work fine. I¹d just
rename the old Template.pm in the same directory, rather than deleting it 
since another program may end up needing the most recent one.

Cheers,

Luke

Thank you for the input Matt. I am glad to hear that it is not ³user error².
I tried it again and I need to correct my earlier statement because Artemis
GUI will stay open after the warning however Athena closes/crashes.
I will try on a different system.

Thanks again,

Chris

Hello everyone,

I tried to install demeter on my mac (running high Sierra) and it appeared
everything went well.  However when I run either Athena or Artemis I get an
error shown below about Demeter::Templates: showing a error and I am not
sure how I can correct this error.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,

I can confirm this.  I just did a fresh install of Macports on 10.13.3 (high
sierra).  The MacPorts install was not super easy, but once it got to the
demeter install, that part went fine.
I see the same problem with athena from demeter 0.9.25. I think the warnings
about "Demeter::Templates::F" and so forth are meant to be warnings only --
I think they may not be related to the crash of athena.   For me, hephaestus
gives the same sort of warnings, but runs fine.
I can install and run Demeter 0.9.26 (including using Larch as a backend)
using Macports, though there are definitely some Mac-specific weirdness.
Anyway, I do not believe that "install from source" is a feasible approach
for demeter on OSX. I do not know enough about Macports to update the
existing package.  I don't know that using some other system would be an
improvement.

We keep seeing problems with demeter on OSX.   I'm not sure what the right
answer is.  Anyone have any suggestions?
