Hi,

I was following this tutorial to install IRAF on cygwin:
http://www.iac.es/sieinvens/siepedia/pmwiki.php?n=HOWTOs.IrafCygwin

and was able to find the files even though those links are broken now. However, I cannot find the xgterm.cygwin file anywhere. Anybody know where I can find it? Is there a more up-to-date tutorial for this type of installation?

Thanks!

Ivan

The path to the X11IRAF binaries (i.e. XGterm and XImtool) is

ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/x11iraf/x11iraf-v2.0BETA-bin.cygwin.tar.gz

I'm not aware of other installation tutorials such as you mention, but post back if you still have questions.

Thanks!
I tried an installation on cygwin64, but nothing happened when I tried to open xgterm of even cl, ecl. I was just getting the terminal back without any error message. I may have replicated this problem here:
https://iraf.net/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=1468141
which was "solved" by installing cygwin (32) instead. I noticed that the "32" installation has more things than the cygwin64, although that could have also been just me adding packages to the cygwin install to begin with. In any case, at one point I got an error about tput, which was gone after adding libncurses (from Libs in the cygwin packages), and also later when I tried to open xgterm it complained about not having libncurses7, which may be an older version and therefore not installed by default? Anyway, to solve that I added that package to my cygwin install, and now it all seems to be working just fine.
Cheers!
