guiapps

Guest wrote on Feb 26, 2006

I've checked the extern.cfg file for correct path or permission but when i try to use guiapps package this error appears:

ERROR: task `guiapps' has no param file

What can I do? My OS is a Kubuntu linux distro with the last version of Iraf and X11

Thanks
Marco

Be sure the path definition has a trailing '/' char. Also be sure that the very last line of the file is 'keep' so the definitions are retained. I assume it was a type, but the file is 'extern.pkg' not 'extern.cfg'. The message means that somehow the path is either wrong or not defined.

thanks, a "/" was missing at the end of the path, now if i run guiapps with xgterm i can't see the images, could it be due to 8 bit depth? If i run it on xterm it returns a very long series of error messages without starting any window
Thank you for your great collaboration!

Yes, XGTerm is required for the package, XTerm won't do at all. Imaging tasks like XGUIPHOT have the 8-bit problem, search the forums for the standard workarounds. However, XRV and SPECTOOL should still work.
