Hello Serena;

Another user had exactly the same problem and it was due to an
incomplete IRAF installation; probably the binaries you are using are still
the old ones and you upgraded the source files only.
To verify this please do:
cl> cd bin
cl> dir l+
If the *.e files are older than December 3 1999 then you will need
to dowload the upgraded binaries:.....
Next, go to the archives and download and install the IB (IRAF core system)
and NB (NOAO package) binaries for the architectures your installation will
support. For example, to install IB.LNUX.X86 (the Slackware Linux binaries
for the core system, with the IB.LNUX.X86 distribution downloaded to the
directory "<path>/ib.lnux.x86" (where <path> is where you created this
directory): % cd $iraf/bin.linux
% pwd
/iraf/irafbin/bin.linux # (you should be here, or somewhere similar)
% cat <path>/ib.lnux.x86/ib.* | gunzip | tar -xpvf -A similar procedure is followed to install each of the other binaries.
.....If this is not the case, please let mw know.Cheers
