[mcstas-users] two problems with 2.0RC2

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Dear Evgeny,

In regard to the Tk package - a new one built on Snow Leopard including Tk::CodeText is now available here:

http://mcstas-20rc2.mcstas.org/MacOS/10.6_Snow_Leopard/Tk-804_030_MacOSX_10_6_Perl_5_8_9.pkg.zip

Best,

Peter

I've installed 2.0 version on my mac 10.6.8. Everything seems to be ok except few things:

First of all great that you had a look! :-)

- the code highlighter doesn't work, it says:

"Starting Tk::CodeText based editor failed. Using simpler McStas 1.7 style editor"

I've reinstalled Tk library from the package you provided, but nothing changes. What would be the problem?

I will roll a new one for you, it seems I somehow did not include the Tk::CodeText properly...

- some of my old files don't run on the new version (not surprise). I used "migrate" scripts provided with new version, but when I start the old version via command /usr/local/bin/McStas-1.12c/mcgui it starts the old gui version (with code highlighter), but in the log window it writes the following:

"mcstas-2.0RC2 version 2.0RC2 (Dec. 02, 2012)
Copyright (C) Risoe National Laboratory, 1997-2010

Plotters: PGPLOT/McStas HTML VRML
Warning: No MPI/grid machine list. Running locally.
 Define /Users/emoskvin/.mcstas/hosts
 or /usr/local/lib/mcstas/tools/perl/hosts
 or use option --machines=<file>
Clustering methods: Single MPI Grid"

which belong (I believe) to the new engine, and it doesn't compile my old files either. What would be the workaround for this?

You need to use the "environment" script that was also created in /tmp to enable a "mcstas 1.12c environment" - otherwise you will get a mixture of the two versions as you describe. In case you lost the script I have attached it here as well. (For safety please check that the path's etc. correspond to those on your system. :-) )

Dump it in e.g. /usr/local/bin and then execute mcstas-1.12c-enviroment in a Terminal - running mcgui, mcrun, mcstas etc. should then correspond to the old version


Best and hope this helps,

Peter
