the problem of running mt -imager

[xiaoluo1314]

I have some problems about SKA /mt-imager for you. i know this is your master's program. so , i appreciate you can write a good program. i want to use your program,but the running is wrong. The error as shown in the below: ./mt-imager 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371) Requested data table Observatories cannot be found in the searched directories: 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ ./ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ ./data/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /root/aips++/data//ephemerides/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /root/data//ephemerides/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /usr/local/ephemerides/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /usr/local/ephemerides/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /root/aips++/data//geodetic/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /root/data//geodetic/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /usr/local/geodetic/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 WARN MeasIERS::findTab (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasIERS.cc, line 371)+ /usr/local/geodetic/ 2014-05-26 18:14:37 SEVERE MeasTable::initObservatories() (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasTable.cc, line 4111) Cannot read table of Observatories terminate called after throwing an instance of 'casa::AipsError' what(): 2014-05-26 18:14:37 SEVERE MeasTable::initObservatories() (file /root/casacore-1.5.0/measures/Measures/MeasTable.cc, line 4111) Cannot read table of Observatories Aborted (core dumped)

You need to tell the system where your CASA data files are located. You can do this by creating a .casarc file in your home directory and specifying the location of the measures directory in the file. I have

[NRC-005592LX 6:56pm] [twillis]> cat .casarc measures.directory: $HOME/casa/data

[NRC-005592LX 6:56pm] [twillis]> ls -lt casa lrwxrwxrwx 1 twillis twillis 27 Feb 6 12:35 casa -> casapy-42.0.28322-021-1-64b/

[NRC-005592LX 6:56pm] [twillis]> cd casa/data /home/twillis/casa/data

[NRC-005592LX 6:56pm] [data]> ls -lt total 32 -rw-rw-r-- 1 twillis twillis 152 Jan 30 09:35 version drwxrwxr-x 4 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:35 catalogs/ drwxrwxr-x 11 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:35 ephemerides/ drwxrwxr-x 8 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:33 alma/ drwxrwxr-x 5 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:32 demo/ drwxrwxr-x 4 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:32 gui/ drwxrwxr-x 12 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:32 geodetic/ drwxrwxr-x 4 twillis twillis 4096 Jan 30 09:31 nrao/

The data directory will be supplied as part of the CASA package available rom NRAO.

Your .casarc should be in your home directory (\root) and not in the Desktop directory. Note that you could have also configured the this directory during compilation of Casacore

Thanks.But where to configured the this directory during my compilation of Casacore.

[twillis449]

I don't think that you can. See the bottom part of

https://code.google.com/p/casacore/wiki/BuildInstructions

and also look at

https://code.google.com/p/casacore/wiki/CasaAipsRC

for discussion of how the system finds the directories etc.

There is a parameter to be set during cmake phase but can't remember off hand.. Will check when in office.

thank you very much, See the bottom part of

https://code.google.com/p/casacore/wiki/BuildInstructions When I was in casacore, is in the installation. my .casarc in my home directory (\root) [root@astronomy ~]# ls -a .casarc .casarc [root@astronomy ~]# pwd /root But still won't do. Is there a parameter to be set during cmake phase?Can you check for me what parameters, and then tell me.Thanks.

[twillis449]

I've compiled casacore a fell hundred times and I've never comfigured the location of this directory during the compilation state. I think that if this was something you were supposed to do then it would be mentioned somewhere in the build instructions.

Hi all Please refer to http://code.google.com/p/casacore/wiki/CmakeInstructions. The cmake variable DATA_DIR will configure the search paths being discussed during installation phase.

ex cmake -DDATA_DIR=/opt/data .. will do the trick

If you wish you might also opt as to install the required files in the directories he is searching which are included in the error
