problem with TRANSFORM [solved]

Andrea Cardullo wrote on May 16, 2007

Hi,
I bought a mac book, and I installed Iraf on this.
Now I'm triying to replicate my entire thesis work (already done with IRAF in linux) on this computer but I have a problem when I use the task

TRANSFORM

the error reported is:

ERROR: parameter `minput' not found
called as: `transform (mode=h)'

what to do? PLEASE help me!!

The 'minput' parameter was added in the v2.12.2a patch release. If it isn't being found the first thing to do in an 'cl> unlearn transform' to clear out any old uparm files. If you still get the error, the problem may be that the source patch wasn't applied but the binaries are from the 2a patch and so expecting the parameter.

If this is a Scisoft installation it may be a problem in their distribution, but you can check the file twodspec$longslit.transform.par to verify the parameter is in there. If it's missing I can send it to you.
