ipython calico kernel not working

[John Griffiths]

I've tried installing and re-installing following the instructions carefully and keept getting the same issue.

Running icalico in linux doesn't work for me.

Typing './icalico' in the source dir, I get a notebook open, but it hangs, with the 'busy' circle in the corner staying filled.

Typing 'ipython console --profile calico' also doesn't work: it says it's starting calico, then waits for a while and says 'ERROR: Kernel did not respond'

Tried with a few different recent ipython versions; all the same.

Any idea what the problem is?

Ta.

What version of Mono are you using? What distro? I just tried on Ubuntu 14.04 and it worked.

Does ./calico work for you?

[Doug Blank]

When you say "recent ipython versions" did you try ipython 3.0 from ipython master git?

[John Griffiths]

Linux distro: "Linux xubuntu-VirtualBox 3.2.0-23-generic"

Mono version: 'Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.8.1 (Debian 2.10.8.1-1ubuntu2.2)'

Yes, tried with latest ipython dev pull.

./calico does work; launches the calico gui.

..?

Did you run ./calico --create-profile ?

You might need to make ~/.ipython/kernels/calico/kernel.json with contents like:

{
  "argv": ["/usr/bin/mono", 
           "/home/dblank/Calico/bin/Calico.exe",
           "--nographics", 
           "--server", "{connection_file}"], 
  "display_name": "Calico Scheme", 
  "language": "scheme"
}
