Hello All,
I have a problem here,
whenever I execute 'imcombine' task on iraf under cygwin, there's an error message: ERROR: parameter 'imcmb' not found
and image combining failed for sure
any suggestion?

regards,

PJ

Try

cl> unlearn imcombine

This will reset any saved parameters you have in your uparm directory.

If you do an "lpar" on imcombine does it show the 'imcmb' parameter? What about

cl> type immatch$imcombine.par

The imcmb parameter was added for the v2.14.1 release (in July 08). My guess: you updated to v2.14.1 binaries but didn't update the source tree to include the new parameters. An "unlearn" should reset the params and the "lpar" should show the param if the sources are current.

Either way, I just verified that the 'imcmb' param is present in the v2.14.1 release of PC-IRAF, so either the 'unlearn' will clear your parameters from older version or your source-code and binaries are from different versions.

Dear Mike

I applied patch from download section and now imcombine task is working like a charm.
thank you for your suggestion, I think you were right about different versions that installed in my system
