I was trying to install the xdimsum package. I changed extern.pkg as necessary, and when I tried opening iraf to install the package, I got the error:[quote:5242d5c277]
ERROR: Newline while processing string
called as: `cl ()'
called as: `cl ()'
called as: `cl ()'
Error while reading login.cl file - may need to rebuild with mkiraf
Fatal startup error. CL dies.
[/quote:5242d5c277]I removed the lines I added to extern.pkg, but I still cannot open iraf. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem?

Most likely the error is in the 'helpdb' string for the extern.pkg file, i.e. you didn't escape a newline with a backslash, there's a space after the backslash, or you deleted the end-quote.-Mike

Thank you so much for your help. There was a space after a backslash.
