Hello,
After a successful installation of fluka 4-3.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, as usual, I proceeded with installing Flair 3.2.
Using a terminal, I asked to upgrade from the ubuntu repository by typing ‘apt upgrade’, but apt returned with a “nothing to upgrade” message. So, I moved to the flair site, and after downloading the new flair and flair-geoviewer packages, I successfully installed it manually.
Launching “flair” on a terminal produces the following traceback:
tino@oldboy:~$ flair
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/flair/flair.py”, line 3405, in
if not tkFlair._SKIP_INTRO: tkFlair.aboutDialog(flair, 2500)
File “/usr/local/flair/tkFlair.py”, line 1585, in aboutDialog
img = tk.PhotoImage(file=fn)

File “/usr/lib/python3.8/tkinter/init.py”, line 4009, in init
self.tk.call((‘image’, ‘create’, imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn’t open “/usr/local/flair/manual/html/_images/flair-logo.gif”: no such file or directory
That is caused by the absence of some resources in the flair manual (running flair with the -s option allowed the program to run, but the flair manual appears to be missed).
This problem was confirmed when I tried to install flair using the tgz source files: the “make install” stops when sphinx-build is called because some resources requested to build the flair manual weren’t found. Here is the message

Sorry for the long and tedious text, I prefer circumstantiating the problem to save time.
Thank in advance
