Installation of the GEMINI external package V1.3 -------------------------------------------------- [0] The package requires IRAF version 2.11.3 with the patches patch3a and patch3b installed. The package will run on systems without patch3b installed, but the bugs fixed in that release will still be present. [1] The package is distributed via the Gemini web pages, see http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/data/dataSoftware.html The package will also be available from the NOAO/IRAF ftp site: ftp://iraf.noao.edu You need the two files gemini.tar.gz and gemini.readme which are both linked from the Gemini web pages. The gemini.readme file contains these instructions. [2] gunzip the file gemini.tar.gz % gunzip gemini.tar.gz [3] Create a directory to contain the GEMINI external package files. This directory should be outside the IRAF directory tree and must be owned by the IRAF account. In the following example, this root directory is named /iraf/extern/gemini/ (UNIX and Linux). Make the appropriate file name substitutions for your site. [4] Log in as IRAF and edit the extern.pkg file in the hlib directory to define the package to the CL. From the IRAF account, outside the CL, you can move to this directory with the commands: % cd $hlib Define the environment variable gemini to be the pathname to the gemini root directory. UNIX pathnames must be terminated with a '/'. Edit extern.pkg to include: reset gemini = /iraf/extern/gemini/ task gemini.pkg = gemini$gemini.cl Near the end of the hlib$extern.pkg file, update the definition of helpdb so it includes the gemini help database, copying the syntax already used in the string. Add this line before the line containing a closing quote: ,gemini$lib/helpdb.mip\ [5] Log into the CL from the IRAF account and unpack the archive file. Change directories to the GEMINI root directory created above and use 'rtar': cl> cd gemini cl> softools cl> rtar -xrf /gemini.tar where is the relative path from /iraf/extern/gemini to the downloaded file. You can also unpack the file gemini.tar from UNIX % cd /iraf/extern/gemini/ % tar xvf /gemini.tar [6] If patch3b is not available for your architecture, you need to include the entries for Gemini North and Gemini South in the observatories database file. cl> edit noao$lib/obsdb.dat Add the two entries found in the file gemini$lib/obsdb.dat [7] There are no compiled elements in the GEMINI package and therefore no need to compile and link the package. [8] In order to support display of GMOS images the site graphcap file and the site imtoolrc file need to be modified. The graphcap entries found in gemini$lib/graphcap should be added to the site graphcap file, usually dev$graphcap. The imtoolrc entries found in gemini$lib/imtoolrc should be added to the site ximtoolrc file, usually dev$imtoolrc. This file is either linked or copied to a directory line /usr/local/lib in the process of installing IRAF. If it is copied, then the entries from gemini$lib/imtoolrc need to be added to the imtoolrc in /usr/local/lib [9] Please use the Gemini help desk for submission questions http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/helpdesk/helpdeskIndex.html Refer to http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/data/dataSoftware.html for requirements on your IRAF installation including other required external packages.
