Fatal startup error

Hi,

When I started my IRAF session, I got following error message:

setting terminal type to xgterm...
ERROR: task `rask' not found
    cl ()
    cl ()
    cl ()
Error while reading login.cl file - may need to rebuild with mkiraf
Fatal startup error.  CL dies.

In this case, what I have to do?

What does "Rebuilding with mkiraf" mean?

Regards
smp

Chances are this is a typo (i.e. 'rask' instead of 'task') when declaring something in your hlib$extern.pkg, login.cl or loginuser.cl file. Check those files.

Thanks.
In my login.cl file, instead of task, there was rask.
