Jonathan,

Thank you for your reply.

I created a  'sstools.ini' file in the current directory with 'currdir=yes'.  In sstools.ini I also set the working directory but xfractint still cannot find mfr_12.frm.

Is there a way in which I can confirm that xfractint is picking up 'sstools.ini'?

Roger,


I have just started to play with xfractint and I have Kubuntu but I am
having problems understanding basic usage.   Using Google etc I am
having difficulty finding basic usage examples.  I thought that
something like:

xfractint parmfile=58484w7a.par formulafile=mfr_12.frm

would work but I always get an error message stating that the formula
file can't be found.

If you put the formula file in the frm directory, using something like
this should work:

xfractint @58484w7a/58484-w7a

Where the par filename directly follows the @ symbol and the par name
follows the '/'.  The formulafile and the formulaname are provided in
the par.  As long as they match the actual formulafile and formulaname,
this should work.

You may also put the par and frm files in the current working directory
and then use 'curdir=yes' (this can be put in your sstools.ini file).

On my system, I don't run 'make install', so I use a call to ./xfractint
because it resides in the current directory.  With the mfr_12 formula
(and mfr_10) you will still get the segmentation fault, so this is a bad
example.
