I was trying to install the xdimsum package. I changed extern.pkg as necessary, and when I tried opening iraf to install the package, I got the error:
I removed the lines I added to extern.pkg, but I still cannot open iraf. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem?
ERROR: Newline while processing string

Error while reading login.cl file - may need to rebuild with mkiraf
Fatal startup error. CL dies.
I removed the lines I added to extern.pkg, but I still cannot open iraf. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem?

Most likely the error is in the 'helpdb' string for the extern.pkg file, i.e. you didn't escape a newline with a backslash, there's a space after the backslash, or you deleted the end-quote.

Thank you so much for your help. There was a space after a backslash.
