The problem is that with 713 images an internal string buffer was overflowing and not being resized properly. This (and a few other things) has been fixed, you can update to the latest release with

Thank you. I did the update and will check it. Anyway, during the update I got:

I think the update does not download the patches.

I downloaded patches manually, installed them and I was able to re-update without any error with really downloading from internet. But when I entered "cl" I lost the main screen. So I installed (from the http://iraf.noao.edu/) the "Linux 32-bit (191MB)" and extern "mscred,stsdas". The initial screen still is only:

Now, with new installation, I have the 'mscred' problem again:

In your first report I think the problem was that the patch file didn't download for some reason, however I've verified the files exist in the proper place and are readable, and a 'make latest' on a system here worked fine. Did a '/tmp/patch-src.tar.gz' file already exist that couldn't be overwritten?

The problem with the missing banner page was supposedly fixed earlier but I found the hlib$motd file was still being overwritten. This has been fixed (again) and verified. You can get the hlib$motd file from ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v216/support/motd.

Lastly, I updated the mscred binaries linked against the most recent system. A "make latest" would update this or else you can do a 'make mscred" from the $iraf/extern directory to manually update it.

If you still have problems downloading, let me know.

Now the update worked fine but there are still problems:

The error doesn't mean the ds9.xml file can't be read, only that the cache file cannot be opened. Since you did a 'fcache init' already, can you also do a "show cache" and make sure you have write permission in that directory? Does an "fcache list" show anything in the directory?

The ccdproc problem may be a problem coming from the earlier update. Do the binaries date from at least April 11? If you go to the iraf$extern directory and do a "make mscred" to explicitly force the package to be reinstalled, does that change/fix things?
