Installiation error(eSASS was not properly initialized)

Post by BinnurSokmen »

Hi everyone,
I encountered an error message when attempting to source esass-init.sh:

(base) bnr@Bnr-Mac scripts % source /Users/bnr/eSASS4DR1/eSASS/bin/esass-init.sh
usage: dirname string [...]

I am using heasoft-6.32.1 installation with arm64 on my MacBook M1 (Ventura version 13.6).

If define myself to my bash profile(export esass=/Users/bnr/eSASS4DR1/eSASS/bin/esass-init.sh), when I run the demosctirpt this error message appears.

It seems eSASS was not initialised.
You need to activate eSASS to use this script.
eSASS is usually initialised by setting the environnemnt with:
source <eSASS_installlationfolder>/eSASS/bin/esass-init.(c)sh

It appears that eSASS was not properly initialized.

How can I overcome this problem? Any suggestions? I would appreciate it.

Cheers, Binnur.

dear Binnurs,
on mac you need extra packages to run the bash init script.
you'll find the information about this in the DR1 documentation pages here

Hello again! Thank you for your response. I believe my issue stems from my Heasoft Python version due to the warning message: "dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libhdutils_6.??.dylib."

I plan to rebuild Heasoft, and once that's done, I'll proceed to initialize eSASS.
