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>

% Compiled module: XFLASH3. <br>
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'XFLASH3'. <br>
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$ <br>
% Program caused arithmetic error: Floating overflow <br>
<br>
Is it because of a different IDL version in my system (I have IDL Version 7.0.6 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2008, ITT Visual Information Solutions )
<br>
I shall be highly thankful for any explanation of this issue and any possible solution.
