Dear support,<br />I recently formatted my Mac and installed the latest OS X 10.14.3. I installed the binary version of AIPS 31DEC19 following instructions. Everything appeared to work fine, until I tried running CLCOR on archival VLBA data (BP129 Cband) with these arguments
OPCODE = "EOPS"<br />CLCORPRM = 1, 0<br />INFILE = PWD:usno_finals.erp<br />CLINVER = 2<br />CLOUTVER = 3
The task gives no error message, the output ends with
CLCOR2: ZTXOP2: using translated file name =<br />CLCOR2: ZTXOP2: /Users/eskil/TEST/usno_finals.erp<br />CLCOR2: UT1-UTC(sec), POLX, POLY(milliasec) picked up from the USNO file<br />CLCOR2: 1 2453743.5 0.333946 49.430 382.040<br />CLCOR2: 2 2453744.5 0.333483 49.400 381.820<br />CLCOR2: 3 2453745.5 0.333279 49.540 381.660<br />CLCOR2: 4 2453746.5 0.333297 49.160 381.580<br />CLCOR2: 5 2453747.5 0.333489 48.660 381.270<br />CLCOR2: 8684 Records modified<br />CLCOR2: Appears to have ended successfully<br />CLCOR2: localhos 31DEC19 TST: Cpu= 1.0 Real= 1 IO= 13
But the resulting CL table has NAN values in it. Subsequent tasks applying this CL table to data find zero unflagged points, and hence data analysis cannot continue. I also tested installing 31DEC18 binaries on my Intel Mac, and had the same issues again. I ran the same task with the same data on an older 31DEC16 AIPS version on an Ubuntu Linux machine without any issues, so it should not be related to my input data or parameters.<br /><br />I suspect my issue is related to the issue currently described on <a href="http://www.aips.nrao.edu/index.shtml">http://www.aips.nrao.edu/index.shtml</a> under "Warning about modern Linux operating systems". I suspect perhaps rebuilding the OS X binaries with gcc and gfortran, as appears to work for the LINUX version of this issue, could work. I have tried compiling AIPS from source myself, but without success so far. If possible to provide non-Intel-compiler binaries for OS X, I would be very interested in testing them on my machine. Are there any plans to provide such binaries for the MACINT binary AIPS installation?<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Eskil
