Impossible to start .exe + What .dat files and .exe files should i use to create Aspect's .txt readable files? #2

Closed Francyrad closed 4 months ago

Francyrad commented 1 year ago

Dear developers

I would like to use the program to create eos tabs to use on ASPECT. But I encountered two problems:

I have downloaded the version For Apple’s ARM processors, and the.exe files work, however I am not able to read the.dat files provided in the examples despite these being in the same folder. I'm I doing something wrong?

Thank you for the availability Francesco

can you give us a minimum working example (MWE), so that we can reproduce this?

Francyrad commented 1 year ago

I downloaded this version:

Perple_X_7.0.9_OSX_ARM_SP_Apr_16_2023

Then i ran that .exe: dynamic/actcor.exe:

/Users/francyrad/Downloads/Perple_X_7.0.9_OSX_ARM_SP_Apr_16_2023/dynamic/actcor ; exit;
/Users/francyrad/.zshrc:31: permission denied: /Users/francyrad/Documents/PyFrac

NO is the default answer to all prompts

O.K., I quit too.

The file hp02ver.dat is in the folder and it's been taken from PerpleX 6.9.1 data files. Is this given by the fact that i'm using data from previous version? I didn't find 7.0.1 data in the website.

Thank you for the availability

it's not clear to me whether you are running this from the terminal or whether you run this through Julia, or whether you compiled this yourself or are relying on precompiled binaries. If you downloaded the precompiled version of Perple_X, and run it from the terminal you will need to link all required dynamic libraries. Julia will take care of that.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've been able to run my script using Julia at the end, but i had to put all my .dat files in my HOME to make it works. Is there a way to put them in a desired folder instead of HOME so that PerpleX can find them? like specifying a path?

Thank you for your help and availability
