Hi,

I'm trying to use "coreEmittance" and I get the following error when I try to run it: "bash: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/APS/Elegant/coreEmittance: /usr/bin/tclsh: bad interpreter: Permission denied". Sounds like a problem on my end, but I'm not sure what it means. Any other way to extract slice emittances from a distribution?

Thanks,
chris

This script has the wrong initialization compared to the other scripts.
You will need to edit the coreEmittance script and change:

#!/usr/bin/tclsh

to:

#!/bin/sh
# \
exec oagtclsh "$0" "$@"

I made the edit, but now I get the message: "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/APS/Elegant/coreEmittance: line 3: exec: oagtclsh: not found".

Do you have OAG_Tcl-Tk installed? The link is:

In the description it has a link to ActiveTcl which you will also need.

Okay, thanks!

Unfortunately I'm still getting the error about "exec: oagtclsh: not found" after installing the programs and rebooting my machine.

oagtclsh should be in your path. The installer adds it there. Are you overwriting your PATH environment variable when you start cygwin? From my cygwin terminal I can type "which oagtclsh" and I get "/cygdrive/c/Tcl/bin/oagtclsh". Try adding the directory containing oagtclsh to your path manually and see if it solves the problem.

Sorry that this is turning into troubleshooting. When I look at the contents of Tcl/bin this is what I have after installation. So where is oagtclsh supposed to be? I don't know how to define a path since I can't seem to find oagtclsh. Thanks.

Sorry about that. The Window's setup is real goofy. Just copy the tclsh.exe to oagtclsh.exe. I just did a clean install on mine and that seemed to be the missing step.

Not sure if this counts as progress or not...

So I copied tclsh and renamed it to oagtclsh. Now when I do a "which oagtclsh" I get the same path as you. However, when I type in "coreEmittance" I get the following message: "couldn't read file "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/APS/Elegant/coreEmittance": no such file or directory". If I change the header information in the script back to its original (i.e. "#!/usr/bin/tclsh") then I get the "bad interpreter" error message. Not sure how to proceed.
