parameter missing on a mac

edmeades wrote on Dec 13, 2007

I have a user who got this error:

ERROR: The requested field of parameter `logfile' is undefined
"l_logfile = gloginit.logfile.p_value"
line 86: midir$mprepare.cl
called as: `mprepare ()'
midir>

On his intel mac.

How do I define "logfile"? I've never had to do this before, so I'm stuck.

Thanks!

You'll need to at least do an 'epar gloginit' to set the parameter for the GLOGINIT task, the message means it is currently undefined. The GEMINI package uses GLOGINIT in many strange ways so the initialization for the task may have screwed up in some way. Chances are, a simple "unlearn gloginit' or a new MKIRAF to initialize the uparm directory would clear it up as well.

My user reports that he reran mkiraf and that cleared the problem.

Thanks a lot for your quick response.
