xclust3 analysis buttons (acorr, behav, avg, etc) don't work

[imalsogreg]

Solution is to

sudo apt-get install csh

But a better fix would be to rely on bash instead of csh for running those external analysis programs. I'll try to figure out how the shell calling is done, and how to change it to bash.

For xclust3 the commands are executed using a macro SYSTEM (see clust_menu.c lines 2193 - 2197). Which is defined at the top of clust_menu.c as:

  #define SYSTEM(S) System(S)

Replacing this macro should be all you need to do

Thanks for the tip! I am monkeying with this and having some trouble. System() command uses csh by default. As far as I can tell, System() first forks and then executes its argument is sh using the execl() command (execl doesn't assume csh).

But when I try to fork() I'm getting xlib errors:

Executing command: spikeavg *.tt -tstart 0:0 -tend 0:0 -if @tmpclust@ | xplot -title "0227.pxyabw cluster 1" ->command "/global ; /color 0 ; /stepthrough 1"&

[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
xclust3: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Of course I tried adding XInitThreads() as the first call in main(). But it returns me an error code and I haven't found out the meaning yet. Anyway, still trying things.

This problem can also be solved by issue: #3
