I think something does not work well.

The update script doesn't appear to be re-editing the default iraf path with the local iraf path once it updates the utility scripts, at least in the case of the setup scripts. Try explicityly setting a $iraf before the 'make latest' to avoid using the default iraf path, e.g.
setenv iraf /opt/iraf/ (for C-shell)
export iraf=/opt/iraf/
Note the trailing '/' is required.

This does not work. The script is not able to recognize the actual iraf path.

I'm working on a fix. Unfortunately I'm also travelling at the moment. Are you trying to update a v2.16 to v2.16.1 or get the latest v2.16.1? Manually you should be able to do this as
% cd $iraf
% make self_update
% ./install
but I'll admit I haven't tried it.

No progress.

Since your first 'make latest' overwrote the utility scripts, the setup.sh probably now contains the /iraf/iraf path. If you run the install script again it should change the path back.
I've deployed a fixed script, however there still seems to be some funny interaction in how the Bash shell handles the script overwriting itself. I'd also suggest you edit your .bashrc* and .profile files to remove the iraf setup at the end before doing any of this. That might allow the shell to not reset the $iraf during the update.

No, the $iraf is correct. The "make latest" did never happen (look at my 1st post). The problem is the "make latest" does not work at all.

I downloaded today the binaries and installed successfully. Then (as a check) I did "make latest" and the system started to download the binaries and did the upgrade. Congratulations. Anyway, I tried to install some externals and (after "cd extern") the "./configure" brings the errors:
/opt/iraf/extern$ ./configure

I'm trying to install IRAF 2.16.1 and am experiencing the same problem reported by the OP. This happens to me when installing the external packages (I did not run the general install script though, as we have a multi-version installation here and we create symlinks, change paths etc. by hand to be safe).
I think the problem originates from the file setup.sh, in particular the lines shown below.
# Allow a previously defined $iraf to be used.
if [ -n $iraf ]; then
export iraf=/iraf/iraf/
fi
Since "-n" means true if the length of the string is non-zero, the test will overwrite any previous definition of iraf. Shouldn't the test be negated, that is:
# Allow a previously defined $iraf to be used.
if [ ! -n $iraf ]; then
export iraf=/iraf/iraf/
fi
I'll try to do this small change in the script and check whether installing external packages works out.
Thanks
Nicola
