GMT fatal error

[rzinke]

I receive a "fatal error" when running the practice file for a left-lateral strike slip fault. I copied and pasted the code from Figure 6 in the user documentation. When I run the launch file, I get the message:

GMT Fatal Error: No SI/US keyword in GMT configuration file (FONT_LABEL = 12p,Helvetica,black
)

None of the .grd files are produced. Has anyone encountered this error before?

Thanks

Hi Rob, This is probably caused by running Relax when have the libraries for GMT 5.0 or a superior version in your PATH. Do Relax behave correctly otherwise? Does it produce the right output and can you visualize it okay? Sylvain

Hi @sbarbot, I removed the paths to GMT 6.0 in my shell.
Relax does not produce the necessary files. It only produces these:
cgrid.vtp
report.txt
rfaults-001.vtp
rfaults-001.xy

The error message looks like this:
coseismic event 001
I | Dt | tm(ve) | tm(pl) | tm(as) | t/tmax | power | C:E^i |
GMT Fatal Error: No SI/US keyword in GMT configuration file (FONT_LABEL = 12p,Helvetica,black
)

This is strange to me, because a few weeks ago I was able to run the example script successfully.

[sbarbot]

Hi Rob, Are you running the binary files? If so, you need to first run source ./setup.sh to set the environment variables correctly. S.

Yes, in the Relax folder I first ran $ source setup.sh and it reported "Ready to run Relax."
Here is my path /Users/rzinke/Relax:/Users/rzinke/Relax/util:/Users/rzinke/Relax:/Users/rzinke/Relax/util:/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin

[sbarbot]

Check LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You may have another gmt version libraries in there. S.

Hm, using $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH? How do I check it?

Thanks

[sbarbot]

Yes, like that. S.

returns nothing (blank)

[sbarbot]

Have you run source ./setup.sh ?

Yes, and received the message "Ready to run Relax"

[rzinke]

I'll take a look tomorrow and try rebooting some things.

[sbarbot]

What about echo GMT_SHAREDIR echo PROJ_LIB ?

Here is a somewhat related problem I am having. I tried using Relax on our server, using the GitHub repo. I did:
git clone https://github.com/geodynamics/relax.git
cd relax
source setup.sh

but I got the following error message:
*** Error! ***

Source this script from the top-level Relax directory:

cd [directory containing 'setup.sh']
source setup.sh

I don't understand because I am already in the directory containing the setup.sh file, i.e., /u/sar-r2/rzinke/relax

[sbarbot]

Hi Rob, I you're running binaries built from source, you shouldn't use the ./setup.sh script. You should simply update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH environment variables. There are several examples in the INSTALL files about how to do this for various systems. If you're unfamiliar with the procedure, please ask your system admin. This is pretty standard. Cheers, Sylvain

Okay, I removed the old version of Relax and replaced it with a fresh copy. Now the examples work.

Something must have gotten mangled up wrt GMT, possibly in the /Users/rzinke/Relax/RobzTests/gmt.conf or /Users/rzinke/Relax/share/gmt.conf files (?). I am not sure.

Thanks for the help, @sbarbot!
