Chris, I was working off the instructions in the wiki. I looked at the loch folder created by Homebrew and there was a file called MacOS which appeared to be an executable. I suspected it should have been a folder so I deleted it and created the folder myself and re-ran brew. This time it worked fine. I suspect there is something wrong with the script in Homebrew but I don't know anything about that.

Install on Mac OS X El Capitan
by Dave Clucas 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

I upgraded my OS to El Capitan which stopped Therion from working. I reinstalled Therion from scratch following the instructions in the wiki. However I got the following error. Anyone any idea how to fix this? ==> make config-macosx ==> make ==> make install Last 15 lines from /Users/daveclucas/Library/Logs/Homebrew/therion/03.make: mkdir -p ./extern/poly2tri/sweep/ mkdir -p ./extern/poly2tri/common/ mkdir -p ./loch mkdir -p ./xtherion mkdir -p ./thbook tclsh makeinstall.tcl MACOSX could not set permissions for file "/Applications/loch.app/Contents/MacOS/loch": not a directory while executing "file attributes /Applications/loch.app/Contents/MacOS/loch -permissions 0755" invoked from within "if {[string equal $platform WIN32]} { copyfile 1 ../therion.bin/therion.exe "c:/Program files/Therion/therion.exe" copyfile 1 ../therion.bin/xther..."

Cookie said: "I notice the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 can be had for less than £100 on ebay. It has a proper digitiser." How easily can they be made proof and what is the battery life like? Graham

Simple Android Software with export to Therion

The question is, Bjørn, have you found a decent Android tablet that has a good screen for drawing on using a stencil and is also 'caveproof'? Without this, we cannot really move on from PDAs. Graham

And PocketTopo allows you to see the entire cave in context while surveying. That and its simplicity makes it efficient and effective.Topodriod looks like a very nice app, but i cannot imagine it being fast or efficient in a cave. I don't have an Android device whose screen works in the wet, so i have never contemplated using it for a real survey.

Simple, without many not necessary features, and 3D export to DXF is amazing. But not Android. Topodroid is too complex and any sketch you did in a cave one has to redraw or correct in Therion. There are other as Abris, SexyTopo, Qave, CaveSurvey, … Martin 27. 8. 2016 v 21:59, Bjørn Egil Johansen <bejohansen(a)gmail.com>: It would be nice if any of you who have first hand experience with using the different android-alternatives could share your experiences.

GMANE link not working
by Bruce 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

I notice the <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.therion> GMANE searchable link at the bottom of the Therion wiki start page has not been working for a few days. It gives an error like this. dir.gmane.org's server DNS address could not be found. Has someone not paid their ISP or is there some other problem? I find it a very useful resource, so it would be nice if we could get it back Bruce

Consecutive spaces in path crash pdf map-image
by Bruce 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

My trusty team of testers has discovered what seems to be a bug. Using 5.3.16 and 5.3.16 Vladimir's beta If a Therion project folder, that is to contain an output file, has a name that contains two consecutive spaces and map-image is used to insert one pdf (in this case an extended elevation) into another, then we always get this error. Same if any folder in that folder further up the path has two consecutive spaces. writing ./Outputs/MapGrikePlan.pdf ... ####################### metapost log file ######################## This is MetaPost, version 1.209 (kpathsea version 5.1.0) (mem=mpost 2010.01.31) 1 AUG 2016 19:32 <snipped> 122 output files written: data.1 .. data.4015 #################### end of metapost log file #################### converting scraps ... done making map ... done ######################## pdftex log file ######################### This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 2009) (format=pdftex 2010.1.2) 1 AUG 2016 19:32 entering extended mode <snipped> !pdfTeX error: pdftex.exe (file C:/Users/<snipped>/ caving surveys/CAVING GRIKE 016 w10/././Outputs/MapGrikeExtendedElev.pdf): cannot find image file ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! ##################### end of pdftex log file ##################### C:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: error -- pdftex exit code -- 1 writing xtherion file ... done The statement that appears to have triggered this is; map-image 0 0 nw "./Outputs/MapGrikeExtendedElev.pdf" Notice that the ./ in the statement is changed to ././ in the processing log, and the double space seems to have been stripped out of the echoed name in caps. Was discovered when someone accidentally added two consecutive spaces to a folder name. Bruce =
