ellipse (interactive) does not display ellipses on ds9

Stefano Zibetti wrote on Mar 26, 2013

I have a problem running ellipse in interactive mode: ellipses and masks are not displayed on ds9 without any error message. Object locator and fitting routine work, as well as other interactive commands. Only ellipses and masks are not displayed.
I have installed iraf V2.16 on mac 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 (64bit), OS X 10.7.5 (11G63) running XQuartz 2.7.4 (xorg-server 1.13.2). STSDAS is Version 3.15. DS9 Version 7.1 (October 15, 2012) for OS X Lion.
Any idea what's the problem and how to fix it?
Thanks!
Stefano

Thanks Mike, the trick of using the ecl.e/vocl.e file in the 32 bit macosx distribution instead of the 64bit macintel does the job and now I can see the ellipses and masks.
