[FLASH-USERS] xflash3 not starting in IDL

Fri Dec 1 15:47:41 EST 2023

Hi Amar,

I think you may simply be missing $IDL_DIR/lib in your $IDL_PATH.

Attached is the documentation for setting up xflash3.

Subject: xflash3 not starting in IDL

Dear FLASH users,

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

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

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

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

export IDL_PATH=$XFLASH3_DIR:$IDL_PATH

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

% Syntax error.

% Compiled module: XFLASH3.
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'XFLASH3'.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
% Program caused arithmetic error: Floating overflow

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

With best regards,
Amar
