I`m having a problem on running a imfort based task, on iraf
when the program calls clnargs it stops whitout any error flag.

does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

As near as I can tell, this has never worked on Mac systems. There is a failure in the iraf kernel zgcmdl.c routine that gets the command line arguments, however the process execution stack is different on OSX systems and the procedure is failing. This procedure appears to only ever be called from IMFORT but will require a new kernel library in order to fix.

I'll have to look at this more closely and will post a path to the patched library when it is available, at the moment however there is no workaround. Thanks for the report.
