mkiraf on cygwin

Hi all,

I just installed iraf onto cygwin, and according to the docs I think I did it correctly. However, when I try to run mkiraf I get the following message:

end: label not found

Consequently, the uparm directory is not created so there are no parameter files installed for any packages. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks.

The error message is the kind you get from a C-shell command such as "goto end" where there is no 'end' label. Unfortunately, there is also no 'goto' command or anything similar in the MKIRAF command script ($iraf/unix/hlib/mkiraf.csh). You can trace the command execution with something like

csh -x /iraf/iraf/unix/hlib/mkiraf.csh

I can't really think of why else you would get that message unless you're running something other than the real mkiraf script. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
-Mike

Thanks. That worked, using tcsh instead of csh on my system. Now the fun begins......
