218- V/asymptote fails during the installation. How to resolve this issue?

[Anjalijhaa]

Even after installing the asymptote, the ctest for the asymptote fails.

The following tests failed:
218- V/asymptote (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

Did you also install Tex Live? https://neper.info/doc/introduction.html#fine-configuration

[Anjalijhaa]

Yes, I did

[rquey]

Run the following and report any error:

neper -T -n 2
neper -V n2-id1.tess -space pf -print test

[Anjalijhaa]

I ran the edited commands. It is showing the following error

See the orange-highlighted note regarding /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml in https://neper.info/doc/introduction.html#fine-configuration.

[Anjalijhaa]

The comments in the orange-highlighted note are already present in the /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml file.

[rquey]

But did you make the changes? If so, you'll have to Google for a solution...

[sajutabraham]

PLEASE OPEN THE FILE
sudo nano /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml
THEN EDIT THE LINE
< policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" / >
TO
< policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" / >
SAVE AND EXIT.
GO TO NEPER INSTALLATION FOLDER
...neper/src/build
RUN THE COMMAND
ctest -R V/asymptote
SEE THE RESULT, OR YOU MAY ALSO RUN THE ENTIRE TEST USING
ctest
