Hi:I just installed the newest version of IRAF in my computer since my computer is new I decided it will be the best way. My problem is that I finish my installation and now that I am trying to create a login it gives me the following error, any ideas:[code:1:a2cc1b97f2]========================================================================
Congratulations! IRAF has been successfully installed on this system.
======================================================================== To begin using the system simply log in as any user and from the
directory you wish to use as your iraf login directory type: % mkiraf # create a login.cl file
% cl # start IRAFThe 'iraf' user is already configured with a login.cl file so a simple
'cl' command is sufficient to start the system.Additional information can be found at the IRAF.NET web site: http://iraf.netPlease contact http://iraf.net with any questions or problems.

Thanks,Gus

Two things: The response to the terminal prompt in MKIRAF is not a list of possible values, it is one and only one value.Second, 'Command not found' means the 'cl' command isn't in your path. If it's not in /usr/local/bin then either that isn't the directory you specified to the install script, or else you ran the install script with a '-n' no-op flag so nothing was actually installed. The cl command is in the same directory as the mkiraf command. If this is still SciSoft then the cl command will be in that directory tree somewhere.

Hi:I been looking for the cl file but its not anywhere. My friends said that I could the one we used at school and copy it in the usr/local/bin folder but I dont believe that will work.
I ran also the mkiraf, just to make sure I did not ran it with -n flag (would this flag be typed?)
How is the cl file installed, maybe there is something I am doing when I run the ./install or the mkiraf.Gus

[Tavo:~] gcardonav% which cl
cl: Command not found[/code:1:2e561c5abb]

The 'cl' command (and 'mkiraf') is installed as a symlink in the "local bin directory" you specify to the install script. These links point to the actual script in the $iraf/unix/hlib directory (e.g. cl.csh and mkiraf.csh). Note that the install script also edits these files with thinks like the path to the iraf root directory so unless the paths are the same simply copying the script from another machine won't always work.In Scisoft, the command may be in the /Applications/scisoft/all/bin directory but I think these move around between versions. If you run the IRAF install script and specify the right path you should end up with a 'cl' command in /usr/local/bin. Verify that the cl.csh script does exist in $iraf/unix/hlib though. If you need to reinstall anything, get a fresh version from the distribution site (either us or scisoft) but the possibly modified version a friend of a friend got from someplace that one time .....

Hi:I get what you said, so now I am trying the uninstall but its not going. This is my problem. At the bottom you see that I do have those files. I try the install again. I would like to send you a doc file with all the entries durring the installation, becuase I am still having no [color=red:5c0f630d05]CL[/color:5c0f630d05] file. Let me knowGus

Run the install script first, this will create the links. Then if you want, run the uninstall script to clean up, but running the install script should fix everything. Note scisoft does its own setup so uninstall won't remove that.

I ran it. both from the scisoft software and from the iraf_v215, I ran install and then the uninstall is not recognizing the local iraf diretory. Still neither install its creating the cl file in the /usr/local/bin/. Sorry for all this trouble but I am really stuck here.Gus[code:1:76a134e0ed]You will be prompted before any files are removed.

Are you using the 'sudo' command or logged in as 'root'? These are required to modify system directories, so try "sudo install" to run the install script and then verify the files were created in /usr/local/bin

I ran sudo uninstall and it work but it gave me this at the end

ok update. I ran uninstall, and the I ran install. It seems like it was working over again, amazingly. The I restarted my computer and now I get the following error
[code:1:ac4c55eb02]gcardonav@Tavo.local% cl
mach: Command not found.
arch: Undefined variable.
gcardonav@Tavo.local%[/code:1:ac4c55eb02]Here is the weird thing I did. First I notice that when it was asking me for the iraf folder I will write /iraf, which then will be looking for the /iraf/iraf folder which does not exist. So I moved everything to the /iraf/iraf folder and then ran the ./install and it worked. After I restarted my computer it does not work again. Another note is tha my unix prompt used to say
[code:1:ac4c55eb02][Tavo:/iraf/unix/hlib] gcardonav%[/code:1:ac4c55eb02]but now it says this [code:1:ac4c55eb02]gcardonav@Tavo.local%[/code:1:ac4c55eb02]Why is this, would you know, or is this a ore unix type of question.Gus

Several things: The 'arch' environment variable is set in the cl.csh script, and 'mach' is set in e.g. irafuser.csh however it is not a command so I can't explain the message other than to speculate it is coming from a scisoft setup script called from your .login or .cshrc file.Second, the 'iraf root' directory is normally /iraf/iraf, NOT /iraf. When you say you moved 'everything' do you mean the entire iraf tree or just the hlib stuff? As for the prompt change, it all depends where you set it. Normally you'd do this in the .login file (you can "source .login" to load it manually from your unix login directory), whether this gets loaded automatically depends on several factors such as whether this is an Xterm/XGterm window with the 'loginShell' resource set).

Well lets see. I gave up on the scisoft software and decided to download the lastest iraf version available, the one located in your main page https://iraf.net/ftp/iraf/v215-ALPHA/iraf_v215-src.tar.gz. I did the uninstall from the scisoft and then with the iraf_v215 software. After this I ran the the ./install from the v215 software, but this still gives me the same problem. Does the system still pointing or reading out of the scisoft software no matter if I did the uninstall ?As for the iraf root directory I move the entire /iraf tree into an /iraf/iraf so for example here is how things are now

I ran the installation once again, and I got this error:
[code:1:0f3ff6494a]Creating /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc link ... [ FAIL ]
[/code:1:0f3ff6494a]
So its not giving me a complete installation

That stage of the script might fail if you aren't using 'sudo' or logged in as root, or if there is no /usr/local/lib directory on your machine. It appears the script will check for a /usr/local and create it if needed, but not /usr/local/lib.As for the 'cl' command problems, try running it as[code:1:a497f18bb4]csh -x /iraf/iraf/unix/hlib/cl.csh[/code:1:a497f18bb4]This will trace the script as it executes and show you what's happening when the error is printed. Use "which cl" at the unix prompt to find out which command is being used, any path with scisoft in it means the uninstall wasn't complete so just remove the scisoft dir from your $path definition (.login/.cshrc/.bashrc/etc) and log back in. If you specified /usr/local/bin as the 'local bin directory' to the install script, then 'which cl' should return /usr/local/bin/cl.

When I ran that in the prompt it entered into iraf. Here is what I get in the prompt but I bet this is not letting me know where the problem lies. Is there anyway I can point out the cl command to go to the cl.csh in my iraf/iraf/unix/hlib and not the scisoft one.But the strange thing is that i ran the which command and I got this

Do NOT run iraf from the hlib directory. Go to your normal unix directory, type 'mkiraf' to create a login.cl and uparm directory (only need to do this once) and then type 'cl' to startup. From your home directory, 'which cl' should point to /usr/local/bin/cl, it may be that sometime earlier a 'cl' link was created in the hlib directory.Until you sort out what directory you are in and how to get the 'which cl' to find the correct path automatically, you can always explicitly give the command as /usr/local/bin/cl to startup (which seems to work on your machine).
