Subject: xflash3 not starting in IDL<br>

<br>

Dear FLASH users, <br>

<br>

After installing, I could successfully run FLASH using the command: mpirun -np 8 flash4 -par_file flash.par

<br>

<br>

I could see that the output files are produced as mentioned in user guide section 2.4.

<br>

<br>

Thereafter, I followed the guidelines to set the environment variables for xflash3 routine in my .bashrc file:

<br>

<br>

export XFLASH3_DIR=/home/amar/Downloads/FLASH/FLASH4.7.1/tools/fidlr3.0 <br>

<br>

export IDL_PATH=$XFLASH3_DIR:$IDL_PATH <br>

<br>

However, when I type xflash3 and hit Enter in the idl prompt, following error messages appear instead of main widget of xflash3:

<br>

<br>

I shall be highly thankful for any explanation of this issue and any possible solution.
