my computer's OS is Ubuntu 12.04

I tried to install IRAF 2.16
I thought I succeed in installing because there were not any special error when I type "install **"

however,
after mkiraf and cl at xgterm,
my computer answer as

what's the problem?? how can I solve this??

Try doing a "make latest" from the IRAF root directory in order to get a recently-patched binary for the CHKUPDATE task. Alternatively, comment out the 'chkupdate' line from your login.cl file (if you have one in the current dir) and/or the $HOME/.iraf/login.cl file (if you used the global install).

thanks for your reply!!

I tried "make latest" in IRAF root directory.
and complete updating binaries.
however, the problem isn't still solve \$this-\$this->_split2($m[0])_normalize_entities2($m[0])\$this-\$this->_split2($m[0])_normalize_entities2($m[0])

Please try a 'make latest' once more, the core distro binaries were updated by I missed one in the patch files. Should work now....

these are my result after make latest

Well, that's new. 'path' is a task used in the login.cl to get the current working directory, however it is a task in the SYSTEM package and not a parameter so I don't understand the error. Your unix 'path' variable is modified by the setup file, however if that were the problem it would produce a different message.

Could you try doing a MKIRAF to create a local login.cl/uparm directory to see if it clears up? If so then try deleting your $HOME/.iraf directory and re-run the install script so you're using the latest version of login.cl (which shouldn't have changed anyway).

If you still have problems with either a local login.cl or the $HOME/.iraf/login.cl then add the line "d_trace" at the top of the file and please post the last page of output so I can see where the error is occurring.
