Iraf and running cl

Guest wrote on Nov 03, 2005

Hi,
I have installed the Iraf software as described in the manual (PC-IRAF V2.12 Installation Guide) and it appears to have been a successful install.

However, as described in section '3. System Checkout' when I type:

cl <rtn>

I get the following response:

cl: Command not found.

How can I trace the problem?

When I type:

/iraf/iraf/unix/hlib/cl.csh

The following is returned:

iraf@hostname....% ./iraf/unix/hlib/cl.csh
os.zgtenv: cannot open `/usr/include/iraf.h'
task `cl' has no param file
Fatal startup error.  CL dies.

Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
It sounds as if the install script wasn't run (either not as
'root' or only with the '-n' no-op flag). The CL 'command not found'
can sometimes mean only that the 'local bin directory' where you installed
the commands isn't in your path, or you need to type 'rehash' to pick
it up, but the missing /usr/include/iraf.h makes me think the install
script wasn't executed properly. Please try running it again as the
root user and verify that the iraf.h link was made in /usr/include.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mike Fitzpatrick
