Errata for the Humu Starlink release

• All architectures

  • A bug in DISPO was identified that causes incorrect environment variables to be set upon the environment setup when running a bash shell or variant, causing DIPSO to not load properly. If you are having difficulties starting the DIPSO task, download this file and place it in the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/dipso directory, overwriting the dipsosetup.sh file in place.

  • A bug in ORAC-DR was identified that results in the pipeline failing to add astrometry to mosaics. This gives an error message stating "Warning: Could not load the Starlink::Autoastrom Perl module: HdrTrans not yet enabled". If you are experiencing this bug, download the patch (5.0KB, md5sum: 5bf70090bdfcb64296a1d98baa214850).

    When you unzip the patch, it will create an _ADD_AUTO_ASTROMETRY_ file and a WFCAM/_JITTER_STEER_. Place these in the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/oracdr/primitives directory (_JITTER_STEER_ going in the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/oracdr/primitives/WFCAM directory), and manually delete the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/oracdr/primitives/WFCAM/_ADD_AUTO_ASTROMETRY_ file.

  • A bug in ORAC-DR was identified that could result in the incorrect number of slices in UIST IFU data reduction being put in the cube. If you find that your cubes have 13 slices when they should have 14, or vice versa, download the patch (13KB, md5sum: 907d35768998c186e70a9ffbcd770292). Rename the file to UIST.pm, and place it in the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/oracdr/lib/perl5/ORAC/Calib/ directory, over-writing the UIST.pm file that exists in that directory.

• 64-bit Linux
  • None to date.
• 32-bit Linux, glibc 2.5

  • A bug in AUTOPHOTOM has been identified that gives the following error: "Fortran runtime error: Writing more data than the record size (RECL)". If you are experiencing this bug, download the patch (172KB, md5sum: 42a7666df1c158052791dff6e6953a85).

    When you unzip the patch, it will create a photom/ directory. Copy the files in this directory to the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/photom/ directory, overwriting the files already in place.

  • A bug in EMS has been identified that causes problems when sending spectra from GAIA to SPLAT. If you are experiencing such problems, download the patch (108K, md5sum: 6b0167e2937db00029616ca7b2780f64).

    When you unzip the patch, it will create a lib/ directory. Copy the files in this directory to the $STARLINK_DIR/lib/ directory, overwriting the files already in place.

• Intel OS X

  • When attempting to set a device in DIPSO, the following error occurred:

    dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _snx_agwv_
      Referenced from: /star/lib/libdipso.0.dylib
      Expected in: flat namespace
    
    dyld: Symbol not found: _snx_agwv_
      Referenced from: /star/lib/libdipso.0.dylib
      Expected in: flat namespace
    
    Trace/BPT trap

    To fix this, download the patch (646KB, md5sum: e3df6ddf40bb15b590ec69dd0e36ea62).

    When you unzip the patch, it will create a dipso/ directory. Copy the files in this directory to the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/dipso/ directory, overwriting the files already in place. Also, delete the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/dipso/libdipso.a link and the $STARLINK_DIR/lib/libdipso* files.

  • SPLAT libraries were accidentally built against PPC versions of standard gcc libraries. When loading an NDF in SPLAT, you may see an error stating:
