External Email - Use Caution
Hi,
this is not really a question but rather a comment that, hopefully, will help those running into the issue I ran into today.
I was using mri_glm-sim with --mczsim 2 option, and got an error saying that "2,0 must be 1.3, 2.0 ...". The issue is that printf (used in the mri_glm-sim script) refers to the LC_NUMERIC locale which, in my unfortunate case, has instructed printf %2.1f to replace the dot by a comma.
You can check this by typing locale in a terminal. If, like me, you live in an undercivilized part of the world, then you may update your locale using e.g.
sudo update-locale LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
Log in and out and you'll be back on the right side of the force.
It would be great if a future release of FS could include a locale check :-)
Hope this help someone, someday.
Best
