[mcstas-users] install problem 2.0RC2

[Jean-Francois.Moulin at hzg.de]

Thanks for the input.
I tried and now get the following problems:

0) How do I get mcgui???
1) directly doing mcstas-2.0RC2 foo_bar.instr resulted in an awful lot of errors, I guess these are compatibility issues I'll look at later.
At least this means mcstas seems to be running. So far so good.
3) further install problems:
I have matplotlib latest version installed from source, but:

 sudo dpkg -i mcstas-tools-Python-mcplot-matplotlib-2.0RC2-linux64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package mcstas-tools-python-mcplot-matplotlib-2.0rc2.
(Reading database ... 242596 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mcstas-tools-python-mcplot-matplotlib-2.0rc2 (from mcstas-tools-Python-mcplot-matplotlib-2.0RC2-linux64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mcstas-tools-python-mcplot-matplotlib-2.0rc2:

idem for yaml:

sudo dpkg -i mcstas-tools-Python-mcrun-2.0RC2-linux64.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package mcstas-tools-python-mcrun-2.0rc2.
(Reading database ... 242599 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: error processing mcstas-tools-python-mcrun-2.0rc2 (--install):

 mcstas-tools-python-mcrun-2.0rc2


I guess it might be possible to tell dpkg where the dependencies are...

Last question for the road: if I ever succed to have 2.0 running, how should I reinstall a 1.X version as concurent? (I was a bit bold and removed my previous install when I got the error messages)

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

It's great that you're trying out the RC! :)
Let me see if I can clear up what's going on.

It seems you already have files in /usr/local/man/man1/mcformat.1 and
/usr/local/man/man1/mcstas.1  ... the new version is trying to replace
these with links but cannot do this (as they already exist as regular
files).

These files could be left-overs from an older version that wasn't
completely uninstalled.

These are merely "warnings" and can be ignored. The install process is
noting, that the listed tools are not installed and will not be
configured (this will happen when they are installed). We are
considering silencing the process as it is more confusing than
informative.

But you can safely ignore the "skipping: ...." warnings.
