Re: [Ifeffit] Demeter installation (under Ubuntu)

2012-12-19 Thread Denis Testemale

Hello Bruce.
There are no special characters only letters, numbers, and underscores. 
To be sure, I tried by placing the athena projects in ~/temp with the 
same result.


Actually, I played a little bit more, and the behaviour is really strange:

- consider the home folder /home/denis (I'll write ~ in the following) 
and a subfolder ~/A

- I place an old style athena project in ~: named athena.prj
- start dathena
- open ~/athena.prj in dathena. It works.
- cp athena.prj A/athena.prj
- open ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. It works.
- rm ~/athena.prj
- reopen ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. It says: /home/denis/athena.prj is 
not readable

- cp ~/A/athena.prj ~/.
- reopen ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. It works.
- and finally, I replace ~/A/athena.prj by another athena project 
(different), i.e., cp ~/some_random_athena_project ~/A/athena.prj
- reopen ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. No error message BUT the project it 
opens is the old one, not the new random one I replaced the original one 
with...


An additional info: the result of this sequence is the same if I let 
dathena run between each step ((but close the projects CTRL+W) or if I 
close (CTRL+Q) dathena at every step.


What do you think of my Xmas gift Bruce? :-)

Cheers
denis

Hi Denis,

As always, thanks a million for your feedback.  This kind of thing has
a profoundly positive impact on the quality of the package.  I am
really grateful.

The gnuplot-x11 dependency is a good catch.  Thanks.

Unsurprisingly, I have no problems opening files on my computers.  So
we need to figure out what is happening on yours that is not happening
on mine.  My first suspicion involves character sets.


- if I copy athena.prj from /home/denis/pathtothefolder/ to /home/denis/
then it works.

What is pathtofolder?  Specifically does it contains any accented
characters, ess-zets, eastern characters or anything else involving
unicode?

B

Apparently I am on Santa's list of naughty children.

I will have to put 12.10 onto one of my computers in order to
investigate this.  Perhaps this weekend

If you are inclined to investigate further and have a computer running
12.04 or lower, I would be interested to know if you run into the same
problem.
