Xgterm not opening #24

Closed zoispetsieri closed 4 years ago

zoispetsieri commented 4 years ago

Hello, I installed iraf and x11iraf on my ubuntu 20.04 machine. However when I try to open xgterm I get:

Command 'xgterm' not found, did you mean:

command 'xterm' from deb xterm (353-1ubuntu1)

Try: sudo apt install

Do you have any solution to this isssue?

How exactly did you install it?

zoispetsieri commented 4 years ago

I first installed iraf following the instructions on: https://iraf-community.github.io/install.html and I had no problem with the installation. I then moved on to install x11iraf based on the instructions given on:
https://iraf-community.github.io/x11iraf but for some reason the binaries of x11iraf could not be installed. The message I get is "Installing new binaries in /usr/local/bin ...foreach: No match."

Ar you sure that you installed the latest version (2.0+2020.06.15)? Please, can you also copy the full command you did and the complete output of it? BTW, in Ubuntu, you can install IRAF directly with sudo apt install iraf.

My very first attempt was using sudo apt install iraf but xgterm didn't work. So I tried the source installation. Unfortunately I did not install the latest version. I installed iraf-2.16.1-2018.11.01 I'll try the new version. Thank you so much for your help

x11iraf is not part of Iraf, but a separate package (and not included in Ubuntu yet). So, you can still use the Ubuntu package for Iraf and compile only x11iraf yourself.
