iraf on mac

Hi, Mike---

We have a visitor here who has a G4, and USED to be able to run iraf fine.
Now when she types "cl" we get this message saying that /iraf/iraf/bindarwin/cl.e is not found. I can't figure out where it is getting the "darwin" thing.
If we explictly do a /iraf/iraf/bin/cl.e, of course it works.

Any ideas? It previously worked fine.

thanks,
phil

Phil,

Check the environment, specifically IRAFARCH, MACH and arch for the darwin setting (could be coming from a .login or .cshrc file). If this is one of those funny SciSoft installations it might be coming from one of their setup scripts, either way you can check the environment with

% env | grep -i darwin


Or trace the CL startup script using

% csh -x `which cl`


Cheers,
-Mike
