Error with implot and ds9 on PC-IRAF Revision 2.14
sbursic wrote on Sep 19, 2008
Hello,
I recently upgraded to the NOAO/IRAFNET PC-IRAF Revision 2.14 edition and cannot get implot to run nor ds9.
DS9
I tried downloading ds9 separately and creating an alias, which allows it to run, but I can not run it from an xterm window. (by typing ds9, which I could in the old edition.)
IMPLOT
When attempting to run implot the display window ceases to load and instead I get a paragraph or more of nonsense writing in my terminal. such as @#$qw!@Y#%KO@WQ$#@!%. Anyone know how to address these issues?
Thank you,
Shelly

What, if any, error message do you get? A 'command not found' means the 'ds9' command is not in any directory defined by your path. Also, how is your alias defined? Can you execute the file by specifying the full path directly? Does the binary have the execute permissions set?

Garbage in the screen always means a mismatch in the terminal type, e.g. you aren't really running an Xterm window but an rxvt, gnome-terminal, etc (these do not support graphics). The terminal type is set in your login.cl and can be reset on the commandline or by doing a new MKIRAF.

Mike,
Thank you. The terminal type did fix the problem with implot.
The ds9 error is a bus error.
I went ahead and downloaded a new version of ds9 from their site. I then went into the applications folder inside iraf and got the old ds9 that was causing the bus error and replaced it with the new version. That one executes without error.
Thank you for your help!
