Dear Roland,


>> it would seem that there is a broken simnfactory machine file somehwere in your setup. 
>> 
>> When you said you reinstalled the Einstein Toolkit, did you completely remove (as in "rm -r Cactus") everything then start from scratch or was anything transferred?


I did not delete the first version I had installed, but I installed a new one from scratch in a completely different directory.


>> 
>> In the error message you quote is it really "[name]" or something else?


With [name] I meant the machine name, the name of the server where I have the files, sorry for not specifying it in the first email.


>> 
>> If you are running this on a Mac then please try and re-run "simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent" since Mac OS will create a changing machine name when it derives it from the wifi IP address which could possibly cause such an issue.


I'm working in a Linux environment.


>> 
>> You may also check the file simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini for any 
incomplete setting and (if you did not completely wipe everything) check the simfactory repository:
>> 
>> cd repos/simfactory2
>> 
>> git status -u
>> 
>> for changed and new files.


I checked the file and there was nothing changed, and I could not find any incomplete setting either.


Thank you very much for your response and for all the help. If I eventually fix the problem I will let you know.

Sincerely,
-J.

year.

actually, the machine in which I'm working is the one which returns the error, but 
it is from something missing in ET, not the machine). The error it returns is:

some colleagues here that also use ET but all the files we compared were identical (

several times and we could not fix the error.
