mkhelpdb segmentation violation

H.J. van Heerden wrote on Nov 02, 2010

Hi

Installed IRAF 2.15 today. Had to reintegrate our external package "Boyden" - included some path changes and etc. IRAF dir structure changed?!

Got everything working again expect the help.

After checked everything out figured I need to recreate the helpdb.mip as some of the package structures changed. Did all the preps and finally tried to run softools.mkhelpdb. This is the output:


softools> mkhelpdb root.hd helpdb.mip
  1            root (root.hd): 1 help modules
  2      rootboyden (boyden$lib/rootboyden.hd): 1 help modules
  3          boyden (boyden$boyden.hd): 15 help modules
ERROR: segmentation violation


Have no idea what might be possible error.

Please help

Pat

Pat,

Sorry for the slow reply. I also noticed this last weekend and am working on for the next release. The immediate problem is fixed, however the helpdb.mip file is supposed to be interchangeable between 32- and 64-bit systems, and there's still an irritating problem with that. I'll post back when I have it resolved.
