The final test that all necessary libraries are installed is usually to load a level scheme and see that the level scheme window is drawn properly.  If the GUI starts and can load and draw the level diagram without errors, then it is unlikely that there are any missing libraries.

The final tests that all necessary libraries and codes are installed are usually the following:
 +
 
 +
* Load a level scheme and see that the level scheme window is drawn properly.  Rarely, after loading a level scheme with no errors (e.g. using one of the example files included in the Rachel distribution), the user must click "Examine fig. window" once to create the level scheme window.  On most systems, with the correct libraries installed, the level scheme display pops up when a valid level scheme is loaded with no errors.  If the GUI starts and can load and draw the level diagram without errors, then it is unlikely that there are any missing libraries.

* After running a calculation ("integration"), test the yield-plotting feature using the "Plot yields" button.  If there is an error finding gnuplot, install gnuplot on the system so that it is in the user's path, i.e., that it can be invoked by typing "gnuplot" at the terminal prompt.
