installation issue PyNest: outdated libgsl.so.23 dependency on recent linux release
by samuel.bottani＠parisdescartes.fr 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Hi, nestsimulator-2.18.0 fails PyNEST installation as requesting libgsl.so.23 while libgsl.so.25 is available (see brelow --1-- log of installcheck for PyNEST tests) cmake reports no errors with GSL (see bleow --2-- log extract of cmake output ) configuration: linux manjaro latest system update 2019-09-05 Sorry for my ignorance : is there a way to force linking with most recent gsl library ? Or is it necessary to install also the old library version somehow? If then how ? Thank you in advance for any help Samuel Bottani --1-- Phase 7: Running PyNEST tests. ------------------------------ Using nosetests.

get/set status conductance based synapses
by Mikkel Elle Lepperød 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi! Is it possible to get and set the status of a neuron with conductance based synapses (iaf_cond_alpha)? I only see V_m after getting the status of the nodes, but I need to get/set the synapse states as well (g_ex, g_in).

cannot "import nest" in virtual box installation?
by r.doursat＠mmu.ac.uk 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hello, I followed the NEST LIVE MEDIA Installation instructions, and the NEST 2.18.0 VirtualBox lubuntu 18.04_1 seems to be running fine. But then in a terminal window in the home directory, and whether running from inside ipython or python, after I type "import nest" at the prompt, I get an error message: "ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initpynestkernel)" (line 74 of ll_api.py). There is also another error message just before it: "Import kernel in __init__ after initializing low-level APIs" (line 28 of __init__.py) How can this be fixed? Thanks! -Rene

Hi everyone, I am SUN, working in RIKEN, Japan. I am working on one issue. I am useing the GetConnections to get the weights and keep it in the text. connections = nest.GetConnections(source, target) When I want to update the weight with the new information. I am using this: conn=nest.GetConnections(gid,gid) nest.SetStatus(conn, newweight) But it is not working, do you have any ideas? Best wishes, Sun
