to all regarding the stsdas installation problem saying it can’t write files to /, I had the same problem. consulting the installer log, I found that my iraf admin didn’t have permission to write to the extern folder. I fixed the permission and it installed right away. (this is really late, but in case someone has the same problem down the road.)

@ Quinton – did you install xgterm? If you know it’s exactly path, can you try that? i.e. try typing /usr/local/bin/xgterm or /usr/bin/xgterm?

Wow, sure were a lot of posts here in the last week. You'll find it better to email me than than to post comments, at least in terms of response time, because I had to turn off new comment notification.

@Kirsten - I'd ask that question at the iraf.net forums; it sounds like something with MSCRED (which I know little about) rather than with the installer process.

@ Willie - There's also a post somewhere on how to upgrade IRAF with the installers, I usually rename the old /iraf folder and such.

@ Jason - Weird about the errors ,but I remind everyone to look at the Installer Log file to see what the problems are ... that can help diagnosis. Though, now that the installer asks to authenticate, I'd think we'd have a lot fewer permission errors. Though, there maybe some issues with creating a file in /. Anyway, glad it worked eventually. I'm not sure about your xgterm woes. Which version did you download? Are you running Leopard or Tiger?

Went ahead and downloaded the new installer. Of course, in the instructions you answer my question. Followed the instructions and now have 2.14. Thanks.

I installed IRAF V2.13 installed on my iBook running Mac OS 10.4.11 thanks to your installers and instructions.

If I want to upgrade to V2.14 do I just run the new installer or do I need to uninstall the old version first? How about the various packages? Do they need to be reinstalled? Sorry if I missed this in the docs somewhere.

I have installed mscred onto two different machines (both Macs) in hopes to use msctpeak. I’ve got all of my parameters set but when i run it i get a prompt for ‘fdcoords: ‘. What is this and why is it asking me for it when I’ve seen msctpeak run (with my same parameters) without it!?

Well, i redownloaded the install thing for the 10th time or so, but this tiem from a different network and it all worked out. Weird.

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/ibXpm.4.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/xgterm Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap
