genetic optimizer missing (perhaps)

[alexdiazortiz]

Hi there,

I have installed elegant and sdds toolkit from rpm distributions (elegant-25.1.0-2.x86_64.rpm and SDDSEpicsToolKit-2.11-1.x86_64.rpm, respectively) on a 64-bit linux cluster (RHEL5, Intel). The installation went well without any error messages.

After the installation, I tried the mogaRing examples by following the instructions in the GuideToUse. In step 0, I ran into trouble because it seems that geneticOptimizer cannot be found: It is not in the elegant or SDDS installation directories. I wonder whether I am need to install some additional packages.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks,

Alejandro

You will need the SDDSToolKit which is different from the SDDSEpicsToolKit.

You will also need OAGTclTk
http://www.aps.anl.gov/asd/oag/download ... x86_64.rpm

Finally you will need our software scripts
http://www.aps.anl.gov/asd/oag/download ... .19.tar.gz

You will find the generic optimizer under:
oag/apps/src/tcltkapp/oagapp/optimizeInterface

Once you install the SDDSToolKit and the OAGTclTk package, you should be able to run the optimizeInterface program.

Thanks a lot for the info!

Regarding the oag scripts:Do I have to "make" them? Or just put them in the path?

Sorry for the all-rookie questions.
Thanks.

The oag scripts just need to be put in your path. The package that we have on the web is just our source tree.
