Re: [Febrl-list] FEBRL GUI won't open for user, but will for admin on windows machine

[Ivan H. <Iva...@an...>]

Hi Ana,
Unfortunately that didn't work.  I unzipped the FEBRL folders to a local
drive I have full access to and ran guiFebrl.py as user.  The *pyc files
were created but the GUI did not open.

My aim was to use FEBRL as a tool for standardising datasets for a
multi-institution collaboration studying climate effects on health.
Members of this collaboration are from other universities and mostly
using winXP with generally restricted user profiles like mine and have
limited python programming skills (so using FEBRL without the GUI is not
really an option for them).  If the FEBRL GUI cannot be run on their
machines I will have to approach the problem differently.  

I would appreciate any advice on alternatives list members have.  I am
currently using R functions for string comparisons and linking datasets
within a relational database and GIS framework, which works fine for me
here but is not really something that I can get set up at the partner
institutions easily.  

Thanks again for your the response!

Sound like you did the first run of FEBRL as admin, it created the *pyc
files
read-only for admin and they can not be read by the users now.
I suggest you uncompress the febrl folder as user, then try running it.

Hope this helps,

Ana
