Installation script error

Jason Quinn wrote on May 24, 2010

I got the following error while trying the install script for 2.15

Tapecap Device File Config
--------------------------

By default IRAF will search for a dev$tapecap.<node> file (where
<node> is the system name) when looking for a tape configuration file.
Platforms such as PC-IRAF and Sun/IRAF support multiple OS versions
and so the proper template file must be used. This configuration will
allow you to setup a default tapecap for this system, it may be skipped
if this machine has no tape drive attached.

Create a default tapecap file? (yes):
Creating default file 'tapecap.aries' from tapecap.linux...

In the event a dev$tapecap.<node> file is not found on this
system IRAF will fallback to use just dev$tapecap. In cases where
the node name changes, this installation is shared with another
machine or in a local network, or any case where a tapecap.<node>
is not found, the dev$tapecap file will be the default tapecap used
for all IRAF systems.

Do you wish to create a default dev$tapecap link? (yes):
Tapecap symlink 'tapecap' exists and is ok.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

foreach: No match.

My shell is tcsh. This is attempting a clean install.

Hi Jason,

This was found recently and a patched install script is available at

http://iraf.net/ftp/pub/install

The problem is caused by a missing 'tapecap.linux64' link/file in the iraf$dev directory. If you still have problems let me know.

Cheers,
-Mike

Thanks. I just re-ran the script without the post-config stuff. So far things appear to be working.

The simplified install will benefit IRAF a lot. I am looking forward to the release version.
