scripting - Can't run Bash scripts from within Mathematica 10.1


I am working on Debian 8 (Jessie) and Mathematica 10.1 (64-bit) Home Edition. I have created a script named curl_fetch.sh. It contains the line:


curl www.google.com > html.txt


Running ./curl_fetch.sh on a terminal I get the HTML output file as expected.


In Mathematica I tried:


SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]];

RunProcess["./curl_fetch.sh"]

And I got the file html.txt, but with zero content and the following output:


<|"ExitCode" -> 127, "StandardOutput" -> "",
 "StandardError" ->
  "curl: /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Libraries/\

file libssl.so.1.0.0 with link time reference
  "|>

Why does this happen?



Answer



(Reposting my comment as an answer)


The reason this is happening is that the Mathematica launcher script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that libraries included in the layout will be found and used, and that setting is inherited by any external process started from the kernel. But, sometimes it may happen that the external executable is linked against a conflicting system library.


As a workaround, try evaluating SetEnvironment["LD_LIBRARY_PATH" -> ""] before running the script. The default value could be restored afterwards by


SetEnvironment["LD_LIBRARY_PATH" -> FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory,
     "SystemFiles", "Libraries", $SystemID}]]


Probably better and easier, unsetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH could just be done in the script.


Alternatively, one can use the ProcessEnvironment option of RunProcess to pass the desired environment -- for example, the option value could be Association[DeleteCases[GetEnvironment[All], "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" -> _]].

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
