Re: [Ifeffit] Installation problems for Demeter on Ubuntu 16.04

[Jo Melville]

Thank you for your advice, Bruce. After trying a few things that didn't
work (I already had Wx installed through apt, so that wasn't the culprit),
I attempted to remove Demeter entirely and reinstall it from scratch. This
proved to be a serious mistake, as I presumably failed to completely purge
my system, and now cannot even get any installed programs to run at all.
Running ./Build Test produces lines upon lines of Dubious, test returned 2
(wstat 512, 0x200), and attempting to run dathena outputs this garbage:

I've attached a full error log from the build test, but I'm hardly
optimistic I can clean up my mess at this point. My current plan is to
create a 19.10 partition just to run Demeter. Such is the life of a
mediocre Linux user.

Thanks,

Re: [Ifeffit] Installation problems for Demeter on Ubuntu 16.04

[Ravel, Bruce]

Hi Jo,

I am sorry this is proving so difficult.  Just the other day, I 
installed everything on a machine with Ubuntu 19.10 and saw none of 
these problems.

The problem you are seeing is not one I have ever run into, so it;s a 
bit hard to comment on.  It is clearly a Wx problem.  Your traceback 
identifies it as a Wx problem.

If upgrading your machine to 19.10 is not an option (I /am/ pretty happy 
with the 19.10...) then I have a suggestion for you to try.  This 
suggestion assumes that you let Demeter's build script install the 
perl/Wx interface for you.  This will be a little hands-on -- sorry for 
that, but it's hard to do better from afar

First uninstall some of the things that Demeter installed.  I think the 
best way to do this will be:

cpanp uninistall Wx

"cpanp" is a program that comes with perl itself.  Yo willprobably have 
to sudo that command.

Now use Ubuntu's package manager to satisfy the wxperl requirement:

sudo apt install libwx-perl

say yes to all of the dependencies.  Now try building and installing 
Demeter again.  Do:

./Build dist-clean

then

perl -I. Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

No guarantee that this will actually improve the situation.  Wx is a 
difficult thing to build.  It seems more reliable to use the one already 
built by the Ubuntu package manager.

Good luck!
B

[Ifeffit] Installation problems for Demeter on Ubuntu 16.04

[Jo Melville]

Hello all,

I am having some troubles successfully building Demeter from source on my
Linux machine. All dependencies appeared to install correctly -- a few
errors pop up upon running ./Build test (full error report attached), but
as best I could discern, the errors produced were the same as those
reported in this recent message

(
https://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg06782.html
).

Athena appear to install correctly and even start correctly, but upon
attempting to import *any* data file into Athena, the following error
message pops up (screenshot also attached):
