strfits - segmentation violation

Wendy Roberts wrote on Jan 09, 2006

The following segmentation violation occurs under both Solaris and Linux (IRAF v12.2.2). Can anyone shed some light?

ymir% cd ~/iraf
ymir% setiraf
ymir% cl
Word too long
ymir% csh -f `which cl`
cl> cd /data/mimir0/gaetz/data/HST/t1
cl> stsdas
st> hst_calib
hs> wfpc
wf> strfits fits_files=@strfits.in iraf_files=@strfits.out

yielding:
Fits_file IRAFNAME Dimensions BP DATE OBJECT
u2qr0101b.c0.fit u2qr0101b.c0 800 800 4 32 2003-08-22 E0102-7219

ERROR: segmentation violation

Thanks

The "Word too long" message is usually associated with something like
a recursive PATH definition (the fact that "csh -f" cures it means it is
at least something in your .cshrc file). I don't think this is related to the
strfits problem however.

In the past we've simply forwarded these questions on to the STScI
Help Desk (help@stsci.edu) so you might consider that as well. Otherwise,
could you put the image at some URL so I can have a look. You mentioned
IRAF V2.12.2, but what version of STSDAS are you using?
