Hello,

I would appreciate very much if you could help me with this problem,

Im analyzing a HST image (ACS/WFC) and Im trying to run the ellipse task
on it.
However, I get the following error message,

x_isophote.e: dynamic-link.h:57: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad
dynamic tag"' failed.
ERROR: IOT

Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

thank you very much for your patience.
charly

Hi Carlos and ST HelpDesk,There are three causes I can think of for this problem which you should
relate to your user, none of which are IRAF specific: - User is running a version of the OS (I'm assuming linux?) which
is incompatible with the binaries (I'm assuming pre-built?),
- Files weren't transferred properly and the x_isophote.e is
corrupted (have them validate the checksum for whichever version
of STSDAS is being used)
- The system was hacked and a rootkit has messed with glibc/ld.so
(see www.chkrootkit.org for software to detect this).Rebuilding from source or possibly even just relinking would likely fix
the problem as well. You should get the OS distribution/version and
STSDAS version being used, but check for the above first. Carlos, ST
can help you rebuild the package if needed.
Cheers,
Mike Fitzpatrick

Hi Mike,thank you very much for your mail.Yes, the OS of my computer is linux (Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang))
and the STSDAS binaries are pre-built.
In fact I did not mention that all STSDAS routines were working ok under
Redhat 7.1.
So now Im suspicious that Fedora is the problem.
What should I do in this case?thanks a lot again

Are you running an old version of STSDAS? If it's only the
x_isophote.e file that fails I'd suspect a corrupted file of some
kind, it all binaries fail it's likely an incompatability with Fedora.
You can run a binary from the command line to see if it starts
properly, just issue a "bye" command at the '>' prompt if it works.
If they all fail, rebuilding the local version from source or updating
to the newest STSDAS will likely fix it.Cheers,
-Mike
