Problem with MSCRED.CCDPROC

travisrector wrote on Jun 19, 2009

Hello-

I'm having problems with MSCRED.CCDPROC. I've just upgraded to a new Mac Intel and have IRAF v2.14 and MSCRED v4.8 installed. I'm trying to reduce KPNO4m/MOSA1 data. When I try to run ccdproc I get the following error. I've reduced this data successfully on my old machine (which had v2.12 and MSCRED v3.8) so I know there's something wrong with the install on my new machine. Any ideas?

On a related note, I tried to upgrade MSCRED to v3.9 but there's no macintel version that I can find.

Thanks!

You need to do an

cl> unlearn hselect

The 'missing' parameter was recently added but you're still using old parameters from your uparm directory. To avoid similar problems in the future, you can do a new MKIRAF and reinitialize your uparm directory. Otherwise, unlearning the offending task will fix most 'parameter not found' messages.

Also, I've put MSCRED v4.9 macintel binaries in the ftp archive on iraf.noao.edu, you can also check the downloads link on this site.

Thanks Mike- that seems to have fixed it.
