Discussion group for the ARIA software

[David Langelaan <dlangela AT dal.ca>]

Hello Julien,

 

I feel your pain and have struggled with these issues in the past. FYI I generally just launch aria from the terminal using ‘aria2 -g’ in the past launching aria from within ccpnmr failed, so I just because used to importing ccpnmr projects into the aria2 gui.

 

As for the epsilon issue, I have faced this myself and it is a bit odd. In short this is from the cns program crashing, and is not an issue with aria or ccpnmr. A quick way to test this is to launch the cns executable in the terminal, it will probably crash with the same error message. This error has been observed in the HADDOCK community as well.

 

This issue has something to with the machine.f file in the cns source code, and there are several options to fix it. One involves modifying the makefile/install files to remove a -fastmath compiler flag, the other involves modifying the machvar.f file to prevent the crash. I have used both in the past with success.

I hope that this helps put you on the right track, good luck.

Hi Benjamin, thanks for your answer.

 

I forgot to mention that the error about ARIA Gui is specific to CcpNmr. I can launch it from the terminal (aria -g) but when I click on the "Launch Aria gui" in CcpNmr, it says Tix cannot be imported. I assume this error is more on the CcpNmr side. The check.py says it's all OK, especially :

"""

Tkinter and Tix modules...
Tkinter imported (Tk version 8.600)

Tix imported.

"""

 

On the actual generation problem:

I tried to generate the PSF-file myself just to see if it was related to rights or something, and it produced the exact same output which is :

 

"""

 %SETFPEPS increase value of MXFPEPS2 and recompile
 %SETFPEPS error encountered: Could not determine machine epsilon
   (CNS is in mode: SET ABORT=NORMal END)

I really do not know how to fix that epsilon thingy. I tried to google it, but I have no idea how to force CNS to use one.

The CPU in the laptop i'm using is a quad-core Intel i7-4710MQ

 

Thanks again,

What does the check.py script tells you about Tix being installed ?

check the run1/cns/begin/generate.out for ERROR, this should tell you more about the issue.

Best,
