After updating ndradex (succesfully), when doing import ndradex I get:

File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ndradex/init.py", line 29, in
radex.build()

File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ndradex/radex.py", line 100, in build
sprun(

File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 516, in run
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,

CalledProcessError: Command '['make', 'build', 'RADEX_LOGFILE=/dev/null', 'RADEX_MAXITER=999999']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

The previous versions of ndradex were working fine until I had to update astropy and numpy.

Is this a problem of my installation, or a problem of ndradex?

Thanks!

@mgsantamaria Thank you for reporting this issue! CalledProcessError means that building RADEX binaries from source was unsuccessful due to some problems. To investigate the issue further, could you run the following shell script in a terminal and check if you get some error messages?

$ cd /home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ndradex/bin
$ make build RADEX_LOGFILE=/dev/null RADEX_MAXITER=999999

@astropenguin thanks for your fast answer.

Doing that I get:

curl -fsO https://personal.sron.nl/~vdtak/radex/radex_public.tar.gz
/bin/sh: 1: curl: not found
make: *** [Makefile:56: radex-src] Error 127

@mgsantamaria Thank you for the detailed information. It seems that curl command is not installed on your machine or environment. Could you install it? (or if you cannot install it by some reasons, an alternative way is to (1) manually download radex_public.tar.gz and (2) put it in the bin directory.)
