missing xx_rvsao.e when installing rvsao on cygwin

ina wrote on Jun 18, 2009

Hello everyone,
I am facing some problems while trying to install the package rvsao.

For some time now I have been sucessfully using IRAF V2.14.1 on my Windows Vista (32bit) system with a complete installation of Cygwin.

When I now try to install rvsao (Version 2.7.6) following the instructions on http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/iraf/rvsao/rvsao.install.html,
I get the following errors at the end of the spool-file.

xc -c -w -p noao x_rvsao.x
x_rvsao.x:
   sys_runtask:
x_rvsao.f:
   sysruk:

Warning, mkpkg line 13: error moving file xx_rvsao.e
Warning, mkpkg line 9: module `install' not found or returned error

Earlier in the file there is also given

writetemp.x:
   tmp_open:
   tmp_close:
   tmp_write_iraf:
   tmp_put_image_line:
   tmp_change_pix:
   tmp_pix_lim:
Error on line 288 of writetemp.x: definition too long

All the rest is ok but without x_rvsao.e the tasks I need do not work.

What can I do to get rid of these errors and complete the installation?

The variables IRAFARCH (cygwin) and Iraf (/iraf/iraf/) are all set correctly as are the entries in the extern.pkg-file. I can load rvsao and even read the help and parameter files.

A colleague got the same errors when trying to install the package on another similar Vista/Cygwin system finding even more undefined references (about 100).

I would be very happy if anyone could help me with this problem.

Thank you,
Ina

I put a set of binaries for v2.7.6 in the download area if you just want to use those, otherwise edit the writetemp.x file and remove the include definitions for the <fio.h> and <fset.h>. The code should them compile.

Thank you,

especially for the very quick answer. Now it works fine. :D

Hi;

I've got the same problem.
I've edited writetemp.x and taken out the include definitions mentioned above but still get the same error message (with version 2.7.8, btw). Here are the last lines from the spool file:

move `bin/librv.a' to `librv.a'
xc -Nz -/static -p noao -z x_rvsao.o librv.a -lsmw -lxtools -lcurfit -liminterp -lllsq -o xx_rvsao.e
gcc: libmain.o: No such file or directory
gcc: libex.a: No such file or directory
gcc: libsys.a: No such file or directory
gcc: libvops.a: No such file or directory
move `librv.a' to `bin/librv.a'
delete file x_rvsao.o
move `xx_rvsao.e' to `bin/x_rvsao.e'
$move: file `xx_rvsao.e' not found
Warning, mkpkg line 13: error moving file xx_rvsao.e
Warning, mkpkg line 9: module `install' not found or returned error

I've tried to look for the missing libraries from the gcc error message with no luck.

I'm running Iraf v. 2.14.1 in Ubuntu 9.10 (i.e., IRAFARCH = linux) - btw, I'm on a 64-bit system...

Thank you very much in advance!

You need the v2.15 Alpha release described on the home page in order to compile on a 64-bit system. Unless you want to upgrade IRAF, you can get the RVSAO 2.7.8 redhat binaries from the download area (http://iraf.net/ftp/iraf/extern) and install them in the rvsao$bin.linux directory and you're done.

I wouldn't like to make a full upgrade of iraf just now... but still, even with the binaries you pointed me to (unpacked in the aproppriate directory), the mkpkg still gives same error message in the end:

Warning, mkpkg line 9: module `install' not found or returned error

Do I need to delete any other line in any file or something like that? (so that it compiles using the new file...) or is anything else missing?

Thank you very much (and happy holidays :) ).

When you install package binaries, you don't have to compile (and in fact, the package binaries won't fix any problems that prevented you from compiling in the first place). So long as the files unpacked and put a x_foo.e file in the package bin.<arch> directory you can just start using the package.

Yes, I thought of that, but it didn't work by just putting teh x_rvsao.e flie in the bin.linux directory.

I've moved the x_rvsao.e file to the rvsao root directory and it worked.

Thanks a lot for your help! :D

For a Cygwin system, the proper place to put the binary is the package 'bin.cygwin' directory. For some packages, you may need to create this directory manually.
