[ase-users] Error in test after ASE installation.

[Adolfo Fuentes]

Hello Community. Today I downloaded ASE via svn and installed it in my
laptop. It is an ACER TravelMate 4020 Series (4021WLMi) [Intel Pentium M
Processor 725 @ 1.6 GHz, 400 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache] with Ubuntu 7.04.
Everything went fine while running the setup.py file under Python2.5,

]$ sudo python setup.py install

but while running the ./tools/testase.py file in the ./ase/test
directory I got at least two bugs:

The first problem is basically that when it arrives at the emt1.py
script it seems it gets into an infinite loop, and I have to press CTRL
+C to pass on the next script. The second problem is that after running
the last script (COCu111.py) I get the correct values, but the system
does not return to the shell after plotting the graphics in RASMOL. Do
you know anything about this?? (My question seems quite naive. I append
the shell output.)
