Psfmeasure problems

[MeganC2]

I'm having trouble getting psfmeasure, in the external package nmisc, to work properly. When I try to test run it, the result is as follows:

Try using the binaries from

ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/extern-v214/nmisc-bin.macosx.tar.gz

Unpack this file in the /iraf/extern/nmisc directory and then move the contents of the 'bin.macosx' directory to 'bin.macintel'. What I put up before may have been built against the v2.15 system, but since NMISC was ported to 64-bits the segfault is understandable. These are 32-bit PPC binaries but should still run on your system.

Otherwise I can talk you through building the package locally if you tell me what problems you're having.

I tried using the macosx file http://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/ftp/iraf/extern-v214/nmisc000118/nmisc-bin.macosx.tar.gz , but for some reason, unpacking this no longer produces the executables x_nmisc.e and x_imexam.e. Instead, it's producing a bin.macosx executable, which is strange....
I attempted once again to compile the binaries myself, and I followed the directions in the nmisc.readme, first editing /iraf/iraf/unix/hlib/extern.pkg to include the nmisc task and then using

Let's try again.... I setup a macintel machine running v2.14 and rebuilt the binaries, try downloading

ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/extern-v214/nmisc-bin.macintel.tar.gz

Unpack these in nmisc$bin.macintel/

Thank you so much! Everything seems to be working with nmisc.

Without investigating I would comment that psfmeasure started in the nmisc package but has been in the standard system (noao.obsutil) and in mscred
for quite a long time.
