Dear experts,
I am trying to instal flair 3.1-2 on MAC Os 10.14. I went through tutorial on http://flair.web.cern.ch/flair/download.html
When I try to run flair it does not work and when I go to folder I type ./flair I am logged out of the computer.
I am attaching the terminal output.
Thank you very much for help

Dear @dgancarc,
Could you please send me the line for the alias to flair that you’ve added to your .profile file?
in addition, and in order to check that everything is/is not ok, could you add your flair installation path to your message?
Cheers,
Thanos
Dear @manousos,
my .bash_profile contains following:
export FLUPRO=${HOME}/flukagfor
export FLUFOR=gfortran
export PATH=${PATH}:$FLUPRO:$FLUPRO/flutil
alias flair ='/Users/davidgancarcik/Downloads/flair-3.1/flair'
instalation path is:
flair-3.1 $pwd
/Users/davidgancarcik/Downloads/flair-3.1
Thank you for your time
David
Dear @dgancarc
First of all, you can remove the first 3 export commands.
For fluka the only export that you need is:
export PATH=$PATH:/pathtofluka/bin
as described here
Now for the flair alias,
please remove the space that you have between flair and =
I would also advice to use the .profile of the OsX system and not the bash_profile
After fixing the space in the alias,
you have to open a new terminal for loading the correct profile
and then for running flair you just have to type:
flair
Could you please try again after the suggestions above (specially the fix with the space)
and let me know if the problem has been solved?
Cheers,
Thanos
Dear @manousos
I found that all the time I am running FLUKA instead CERN FLUKA, so I do not have a /bin folder. But I have already registered for CERN one.
I renamed .bash_profile to .profile, thank you for the advice.
When I deleted a space between “flair =”, I can start the flair from every directory, but it still always log me out of the system, when I execute the command. FLAIR should be opened independently on FLUKA (it will just not find path to it). So it is not still working.
Thank you for your advices
David
Dear @dgancarc,
Could you type:
source ~/.profile
and send me the output of it? (if any…)
Is the logging out happening only when you type flair?
I’m wandering since it’s impossible that flair logs you out.
In my view, there are still some errors in your .profile configuration that confuse the system…
If you send me the output of the above mentioned command I might be able to help you.
Otherwise, you can attach your .profile such that I could have a look.
Cheers,
Thanos
Dear @manousos
it produces no output. And actually it logged me out before and nothing else ever did it before. But when I did it (even through I previously opened the terminal many times) it started working. Now I can start the FLAIR I can see the interface but it still says:
w> Warning: Geometry Viewer not found
e> ERROR: No module named ‘geoviewer’
So I made this (as you just adviced to @Jason_O ):
make clean
make -j DEBUG=yes > makeinfo.log
I am attaching the makeinfo.log file.
Please accept my deepest thanks

Dear @dgancarc,
The warning/error that you see is different from @Jason_O problem.
You missed the installation of geoviewer.
Please follow the instructions as provided here under the section: Mac OsX
and let me know if everything worked.
Now concerning the log out problem, is it solved at the end?
Since now you seem to open flair
Cheers,
Thanos
Dear @manousos
I did an installation before and I did it even once again now:
geoviewer_install.txt (16.2 KB)
But it is just not working.
This logging out stuff disappeared BUT I just restarted my PC and it is not working again. Instead of logging out, when I type “flair” it freezes the terminal and nothing happens for few minutes now. I can not even quit the process only thing I can do is CMD+Q quit the whole terminal 
Before restarting it worked now it don’t …
I appreciate your guidance
David
Dear @dgancarc,
Concerning the geoviewer installation,
I see, from the txt file that you’ve attached, that you missed to install it.
So you have to type inside the geoviewer folder:
make install DESTDIR=< pathtoflair >
where < pathtoflair > for your case should be:
/Users/davidgancarcik/Downloads/flair-3.1
Now for the other issue, could you please uncomment any export command that you have in your .profile and keep only the alias for flair and then try again?
Cheers, Thanos
Dear @manousos
I did it as you advised, so my .profile file has a following form
profile.txt (360 Bytes)
when I execute flair command now it answers (i had to put in the file because dollar-sign makes some formatting ):
answer.txt (132 Bytes)
Thank you
David
Hi @dgancarc,
Please let’s go step by step:
for the logging out issue, is it ok now?
i.e. when you type flair, you’re still logged in?
Now for your other issue, I see, from your makeinfo.log file
that you’re using anaconda for python.
This might be tricky, and I’m guessing that the problem might be originating from there.
As it is advised in the flair’s website, you have to install and use (for flair and geoviewer)
versions of python3 provided by the macports.
Please follow the instructions for the installation as described in the website,
and install the packages under the “Optionally, but strongly recommended” section as well.
Let me know if this solved the issue,
Thanos
Dear @manousos
I reinstalled operating system and did everything again. Now I finally do not have a problem with opening flair. But I am still unable to install geoviewer. It says “Warning: Geometry Viewer not found”. I am sending output when I “Compile from source”
geoviewer_install.txt (16.2 KB)
I also tried to compile using " Built from src.rpm" geoviewer_using_src.txt (26.1 KB)
Output is almost the same
Thank you for your reply
David
Dear @dgancarc,
have you issued the command
make install DESTDIR=PATH_FLAIR
in the geoviewer directory?
Replace PATH_FLAIR with the directory path where Flair was expanded.
Cheers, luigi
Dear @luillo ,
Yes I did it. And it producing following:
flair-geoviewer-3.1 $which flair
/usr/local/bin/flair
flair-geoviewer-3.1 $sudo make install DESTDIR=/usr/local/bin/flair

Thank you for fast reply

Dear @dgancarc,
If I’m not mistaken, your system is OsX Mojave.
If so, did you try to install the header files by executing the following:
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
After the installation of the above package,
then please execute (inside the folder where geoviewer was expanded):
make clean
make -j DEBUG=yes
make install DESTDIR=PATH_FLAIR
For your case, I see that you’re trying to install geoviewer under /usr/local
If so, then the last command should be executed as super user
Cheers,
Thanos
Dear @manousos
I was not able to run FLAIR in OsX Mojave, so I just because of this updated to OsX Catalina. Because of this fact I could not find these headers. I tried to google what to do.
I found that this command should show me where the packages are now
xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path
and it answers:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
So I tried to change your command according to this response but I think it was unsuccessful.
So then I tried your commands and unfortunately it did not help. I am sending the output.

Thank you!
David
Dear @dgancarc
it appears that the macports headers are conflicting with the x-code ones.
for start, could you send the output of:
port echo requested

Thanos
