Problems after installing ASAP3.0.0

[Simon Ellingsen]

I've just installed ASAP 3.0 under snowleopard, but am having some problems.

I am running OSX 10.6.3 on a Macbook Pro. The installation seemed to work well, I had to install matplotlib again using the instruction in the ASAP install README. I did the asap_data_update and as best I can tell it worked OK (I have new files in the Python/site-package/asap/data directory).

ASAP starts OK, I can load raw data, but I get errors when I try and use the scantable.summary() command or plotter.plot()

I have removed my .asap directory and restarted my machine, but the problem persists. I have tried datasets from Parkes, Mopra and Hobart, all give the same problem. The output below shows the problem.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

This seems a conflict of various python installations. Note that this is installer is for system python 2.6. If you have anything else in the PATH first it might cause problems.

I will try to set the path-to-interpreter explicitly in asap_update_data

[Malte Marquarding]

I have changed the asap_update_data to explicitly use /usr/bin/python2.6.
