Hello,
I am trying to use mddNMR with qMDD. I have put some data files in my Documents directory, including official examples, in both bruker and agilent format.

When I run qMDD, whatever data file or processing mode I use, I have the following error :

####> mddnmr4pipeN  1 2 3 42
########## conversion from spectrometer format to nmrPipe format ../b_hnco to ./XYZA/ft4sp.xyza.2D
No fid file ../b_hnco
mddnmr4pipeN 1 2 3 42 failed
Error command 'FTx.sh.2D ./XYZA/ft4sp.xyza.2D' failed

Do you have any idea to solve it ?
Thanking you,
Guillaume

Guillaume,

I suspect the issue is with the current working directory not being in your path. Can you answer a question... Are you getting the error while executing the processing scripts from within the qMDD GUI or by executing the scripts built by qMDD from a terminal? 

We have qMDD setup to set the current working directory in your path when it is launched so this problem should not show up when executing processing from within the qMDD GUI. If you are launching the scripts generated by qMDD from a terminal try typing "export PATH=$PATH:." without the quotes first and then execute the script from the same terminal.

Please let me know specifically if you were executing the processing from within the qMDD GUI or from the terminal. If you are getting the error from within the qMDD GUI I will have to dig a bit further. In that case, if you can spell out each of your steps it will be helpful. For example; opened qMDD, pressed "this" button, etc.

Thanks,
Mark

Dear Mark,

I am just launching qMDD in a terminal, which opens the GUI. I then select a data subdirectory, inside my Documents directory, and just click RUN.

I have the same result when I go to the FID directory before starting the GUI.

However, if I use the menu nmrbox-software/MDD, I have another error:

nmrPipe: Command not found.
Check the software installation and path
mddChecks.sh failed
Cheers,
Guillaume

Guillaume,

We have identified the problem and will make a fix to the NMRbox VMs soon. In the meantime there is a simple fix to get you going today.
Open a terminal
Enter "export PATH=.:$PATH" without the quotes
From the same terminal type "qMDD"
Open spectrum, navigate to the directory where the ser or fid file exists and open the spectrum
Hit okay if it prompts you about directory already existing
You should see a dialog box about referencing, just hit ok
Click the run button - a FT should begin. It may not look good without changing settings, but the FT should start and not give the error message you reported.

Let me know if this fixes the issue. Note that after we patch the NMRbox VMs the "export PATH=.:$PATH" will no longer be necessary.

Thanks for your patience
Mark

The MDD launch scripts have been patched to fix the problem Guillaume found.
