synclient in USPEX v10.2

[Busheng Wang]

Dear all,

I download the new version USPEX-10.2, the installation is successful without error.

But I got the following information when I did Example-03, VASP calculations run on the queue but no results (energy) shown in OUTPUT.  Question1: anyone know what is 'synclient' ?  Question 2: why uspex unable to import numpy and scipy? I have installed all the libraries, and 'import numpy scipy' in python without error and warning.

Best,

Busheng

1. "/bin/bash: synclient: command not found"

The issue comes from Java and horizontal two-finger scrolling in Matlab. Since the two-finger scrolling doesn't work well in Matlab for Linux, it outputs annoying lines on the screen, people usually disable this two-finger scrolling by the command: !synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0). By running compiled USPEX, it just says that something related to this issue is not found. This is not related to USPEX and cause no single problem for running it. 

2. "Unable to import numpy and scipy"

That means the "numpy" and "scipy" libraries are not installed in the default python which is recognized by USPEX. 

If you say it is installed; then it means it is installed in another python, not the default python and users must define proper default python in their systems.
PLEASE NOTE:

- default python must be python 2 (2.6, 2.7) and not python 3.

- if the python is installed as a module, then before running USPEX the module for proper python needs to be loaded (i.e. module load python/python2.7)

-default python is the output of this command: "which python"

-if "ase", "spglib", "sqlite3" libraries are not installed in the default python, USPEX will stop by error in the middle of calculations, however by installing these libraries at any time, users can restart USPEX from the stopped point.

I met a problem after finishing some structures of the first generation. The error information:

from . import _spglib as spg

ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package 

Does the 'spglib' library need python 2? I use this library in python 3.
