hi @lemouth.. I've been away for a couple days which have had a toll on me and my family, however, i am only just settling down to return to my favorite activity.. blogging.. The #citizenscience project has been top on my list all along! I am however stuck with this particular error even though i have installed all necessary packages like you directed and followed it step by step in the guide you provided. Please help a boy out n what could be wrong so i can get this part sorted and catch up with other hivers! thanks

Hi and welcome back! Don't worry, family (and health) should always come first, and I definitely understand this.

To fix this error, let's just deactivate latex as a whole. Please open the file

madanalysis/input/installation_options.dat
 

and change lines 48-52 to:

# -----PDFLATEX-----
pdflatex_veto = 1 # 0=No, 1=Yes
# -----LATEX-----
latex_veto = 1 # 0=No, 1=Yes
 

The changes correspond to un-commenting the two vetos, and setting them to true. As we don't need the (pdf)latex output anymore for the following tasks (I changed my mind due to related issues), this is fine.

I hope this will allow you to move on. Please let me know!

Cheers!

I finally got around it!! i'll indicate what my mistake had been all along in my post! Thanks

You are welcome! I am looking forward to read your report(s).
